Live Andar Bahar (Playtech) How to play & Strategy

Live Andar Bahar from Playtech is now live - this Hindi card game launches with side bets for increased winning opportunities. Learn how to play & win here.

Live Andar Bahar is a new live dealer card game available at Playtech casinos. It is a Hindi live dealer game and follows the classic rules of Andar Bahar. To win, you will need to guess if cards dealt to Andar or Bahar will match the middle Joker card.

Adding some risk and payout rewards are optional side bets, including First 3 or Andar/Bahar on 1st card. The game is set in Playtech's Asian inspired studios alongside Hindi Live Roulette. For more details on how the game works, read our complete play guide below.

How to Play

The objective of Playtech Andar Bahar is to guess which side will match the Joker (central) card. You can either back Andar (Inside) - or Bahar (Outside). The game always starts with the dealer placing one card in the central position.

After a short betting timer, the dealer will start dealing cards to Andar and Bahar. The dealer will draw the first card to Andar - and the second to Bahar. The dealer will continue to draw cards until either side draws a card that matches the middle card.

Once a card matches, all bets are resolved and the dealer will draw a middle card in preparation for the next game.

Payouts & Side Bets

The Andar bet pays out at 0.9:1 while Bahar pays at 1:1. Andar is the first card dealt - so it has a slight advantage over the Bahar bet, hence the difference in payout.

Andar Bahar Live also comes with several side bets that are independent of the main game results.
