Andar Bahar is one of the oldest and most beloved card games from the subcontinent — and now you can play it live, any time of day, right here on 88ed. Whether you are sitting in Karachi after work or catching a quick round in Lahore between meetings, our live dealer Andar Bahar tables are always open, always fair, and always exciting.
Andar Bahar, also known as Katti in some regions, is a pure-chance card game that originated in southern India but has been played across the entire subcontinent for generations. The name itself tells you everything — "Andar" means Inside and "Bahar" means Outside. That is literally the entire game: one joker card is drawn, and you bet on which side — Andar or Bahar — will match it first.
The simplicity is exactly what makes it so appealing. There are no complicated rules to memorise, no poker hand rankings to study, no strategy charts to consult. You pick a side, the dealer draws cards alternately to Andar and Bahar piles, and whoever matches the joker wins. A full round on 88ed typically takes less than 30 seconds — making it one of the fastest casino games available on our platform.

From the main casino lobby, select the Live Casino section and look for the Andar Bahar tables. On 88ed, we typically run multiple tables simultaneously so you never have to wait for a seat. Tables are available at various stake levels to suit all budgets — from Rs 50 per round up to high-roller options.
The live dealer shuffles a standard 52-card deck and places one card face-up in the centre of the table. This is called the Joker Card or the Game Card. Your mission throughout the round is to predict which side — Andar (left) or Bahar (right) — will receive a card of the same rank as this Joker.
During the betting window, click on either the Andar or Bahar area to place your chips. Many 88ed Andar Bahar variants also offer optional side bets — such as betting on how many cards will be drawn before a match, or the suit/colour of the Joker Card. These are completely optional but add extra excitement for experienced players.
Once the betting window closes, the dealer begins dealing cards alternately to the Andar and Bahar piles. The moment a card matching the Joker's rank appears, the round ends instantly. Winning bets are settled and credited to your account immediately. On 88ed, a complete round including betting time rarely exceeds 45 seconds.
Ready to cash out? 88ed processes withdrawals to JazzCash and EasyPaisa typically within 5 minutes. Bank transfers to HBL, UBL, and Meezan Bank accounts are processed the same day. All amounts in Pakistani Rupees — no currency conversion headaches.
Not all Andar Bahar tables are created equal. 88ed offers multiple variants to keep things fresh regardless of how long you have been playing.
The traditional format as it has been played for generations. One Joker card, two betting sides, pure 50/50 chance. The simplest and cleanest version — perfect for newcomers and purists alike who want an authentic experience on 88ed.
A real human dealer, broadcast in HD from a professional studio, manages a physical deck in real time. You can watch every card flip live on your screen. This version captures the authentic card-room atmosphere that players from Lahore to Faisalabad grew up with.
For players who want maximum speed, the Turbo variant cuts the betting window to just 8 seconds per round. Rounds complete in under 20 seconds. High pace, high adrenaline — ideal for experienced players who have already mastered their bankroll strategy.
The enhanced version that adds multiple side-bet options — bet on the suit of the Joker card, predict whether the match will happen in under 5 cards, or wager on the exact number of cards drawn. Higher risk, significantly higher reward potential for players chasing big wins.
While Andar Bahar is a game of chance, understanding the bet types and their risk profiles helps you make smarter decisions at the table on 88ed.
| Bet Type | Description | House Edge | Payout Ratio | Risk Level |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Andar (Main) | The matching card appears on the Andar (left) side first. Statistically, Andar wins slightly more often because cards are dealt to Andar first each round. | ~2.15% | 0.9:1 (pays 90%) | Low |
| Bahar (Main) | The matching card appears on the Bahar (right) side first. Slightly less likely because Andar receives the first deal, but pays out at full even money. | ~3.00% | 1:1 (pays 100%) | Low |
| Number of Cards Side Bet | Bet on how many total cards will be dealt before a match. Common brackets: 1-5 cards, 6-10 cards, 11-15 cards, 16+ cards. Higher card counts pay significantly better. | ~5-8% | 3:1 to 120:1 | Medium |
| Suit of Joker Card | Predict whether the Joker card will be Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, or Spades. Available as a pre-round side bet before the Joker is revealed. | ~6% | 3:1 | Medium |
| Colour of Joker Card | Predict whether the Joker card will be Red (Hearts/Diamonds) or Black (Clubs/Spades). Simpler than suit prediction with a near 50/50 split. | ~4% | 0.9:1 | Low |
| First Match on Card 1 | An exotic bet predicting the match will occur on the very first card dealt. Extremely unlikely but offers the highest payout on the table. | ~10% | 11:1 | High |
