Andar Bahar

Andar Bahar has its origins in India and unlike many card games, it is incredibly easy to play.

Using a single deck of cards, the game begins with the dealer drawing one card from the deck and placing it on the table, which acts as the Joker for the duration of the game.

Players then place their bets on one of two sides: Bahar or Andar. Once betting is closed, the dealer alternates in dealing one card to either side, until a card is dealt of equivalent value to the Joker in the game round. The aim is to bet on the side that is the first to receive a card matching the Joker’s value.

Betting on Bahar is the slightly more lucrative proposition, offering odds of 2x your wager versus Andar, which comes with a marginally lower price of 1.9x.

To the left of the game, you’ll find a grid roadmap that displays recent hit frequency for each of the two suit colours dealt, denoted in blue or red – along with a percentage split of either colour for the various card values.

Typically, no more more than 6-10 cards will be dealt in a given round before the game ends, however you can win up to 120x your stake if you successfully back the dealer to produce 41 or more cards. At the other end of the scale, odds of 3.5x are available for correctly backing between 1-5 cards to be dealt in total.
