No hand rankings, no decisions mid-round â just one question: which side gets the matching card first?
Place Your Bet
Choose Andar or Bahar, and optionally a side bet, during the betting window.

Cards Dealt
Cards are dealt one at a time, alternating between Andar and Bahar.
First Match Wins
The side that receives a card of the same rank as the Joker wins the round.

Andar Bahar FAQs
A Joker card is placed face up. You bet on Andar or Bahar, then the dealer deals cards alternately to each side. The first side to receive a card of the same rank as the Joker wins.
Andar means 'inside' and Bahar means 'outside' in Hindi. They're the two sides of the table you can bet on.
The side that receives the first card gets the first chance to match the Joker, giving it a small advantage. Many tables reduce its payout slightly to balance this.
No. Every card is random and there are no decisions once the bet is placed. The best approach is choosing sensible stakes and sticking to a budget.
Common side bets include how many cards will be dealt, and the Joker's suit, colour or value. They pay more but are less likely to win and often carry a bigger house edge.
