Teen Patti Face Offby 7Mojos

The online gambling industry seems to be growing more diverse with every passing day, in every sense of the word.

No longer are a few massive companies dominating the gaming space. And just as importantly, it’s no longer just the same games that are being re-interpreted over and over again. That’s right…

… there’s more to life than just blackjack and roulette these days!

One game that seems to be growing in popularity in the West is Teen Patti.

Already wildly popular in India (the name means ‘three cards’ in Hindi), this seemingly simple game shares a lot in common with baccarat – the ability to bet on one of two players to win, for example – as well as three card poker. It’s easy to learn but surprisingly subtle to master, making it a natural choice for players looking to expand their gaming horizons.

Quite recently, Teen Patti was in the news as more and more companies looked to expand into international markets, with some major developers such as Pragmatic Play adding pitching their versions to Western markets as well.

Now, thanks to 7Mojos, an exciting developer new to the scene, there’s a fresh variation on Teen Patti, which they’re calling face off. It emphasizes the competitive aspect of the game, making play even more exciting than usual.

This innovative approach to a game that is still building its audience in the West is a bold choice any way you look at it…

… and moves like these are part of the reason this designer is fast becoming one of the top online live dealer providers around.

Get Your Mojo Working

If you’ve never heard of 7Mojos, don’t panic!

This company has only been making its first impressions recently, appearing in 2020 for the first time. That may not be enough time for this firm to become a household name, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re truly newbies. As is often the case in the gambling industry (and others too!), this firm emerged as a fresh brand associated with some established figures.

Two names stand out in their genesis: Zariba Group, a design firm founded in 2007 and extremely active in the 2010s, winning thousands of fans all over the world in the process; and Win Models, Ltd., a live casino specialist founded in 2015. Both are based in Bulgaria, the same as 7Mojos.

So you can bet that this young company has some experienced hands on its team!

Tips and Strategy

If the traditional Teen Patti shares a lot with baccarat in terms of betting and game play, this variation has more in common with a Bet on Poker-style game.

The bet is placed on the results of a 3-card poker round. The best hand will win, but the player’s goal isn’t to beat their opponent (as it would be in ‘normal’ Teen Patti game), but to place their bets on the winning side. Wagers can be placed on the hands of “Player A” or “Player B,” and the simple ‘standard bet’ pays 0.95:1.

There are also a series of side bets available that are less likely to hit, but pay higher when they do so. These include the ‘pair plus player’ bets, where the royal flush bet pays 100:1, and the ‘3+3 Bonus,’ which offers the extremely exciting top payout of 1000x.

Overall, the title boasts an RTP of 97.5% and a bet range of $1–$200 per round.

In terms of visual design, this title offers an appealing combination of traditional Western live dealer games with an Indian twist. The streaming site (based in Bulgaria, of course) shows other gaming tables in the background, enhancing the feeling of playing at a land-based casino from the comfort of your own home. With that said, the decor is distinctly Subcontinental, with an emphasis placed on lotuses, red and purple colors, even what look like saris and henna tattoos for the dealers!

On the whole, it’s wonderful to see this fresh take on a game that is becoming more and more mainstream. This marks a notable addition to the menu of today’s top Live Dealer games.

Where to Play

While 7Mojos is growing its business and footprint fast, it’s not yet quite at the level of industry titans like Playtech, NetEnt, and Evolution. As a consequence, the selection of casinos offering their titles is a bit narrower than some players may have come to expect.

Still, there are some great options available for players all over the world… and we expect the list will grow considerably over the coming months and years.

One option with a very good reputation is SapphireBet, which is currently offering some excellent bonuses.

You can also find many of their games at 888Starz, a very popular choice, as well as Bets.io Casino.
