Play Andar Bahar Online – Rules, Bets, and Winning Tips

The classic Indian card game of Andar Bahar is a traditional card betting game featuring simple game rules and easy to play bets. This game started seeing popularity in online casinos after gaming providers like Evolution Gaming began offering the game for a global audience.

Online Andar Bahar Rules

The rules of Andar Bahar are fairly simple with bettors only typically needing to bet between Andar and Bahar to start playing. Each round consists of the dealer drawing a Joker card and using one whole 52-card deck to draw cards until one that matches the Joker card’s value. Players will need to guess whether the Andar (left side) or the Bahar (right side) will match the Joker card first.

Online Andar Bahar Bets and Payouts

Andar Bahar tables will typically feature more bets than just the standard Andar and Bahar bets. Evolution Gaming’s Super Andar Bahar bets are the following:

Andar – 0.9:1
Bahar – 1:1
1–5 cards drawn – 2:1
6–10 cards drawn – 3:1
11–15 cards drawn – 4:1
16–20 cards drawn – 5:1
21–25 cards drawn – 8:1
26–30 cards drawn – 12:1
31–35 cards drawn – 20:1
36–40 cards drawn – 40:1
41–45 cards drawn – 110:1
46–49 cards drawn – 800:1

All rounds start with the Joker card being dealt and then the Andar side being dealt a card. Because Andar goes first, its payout is lower than that of Bahar since it’s considered an instant win. Some tables have the order reversed though and start out with Bahar and it having a lower payout.

The 1–5 cards drawn to 46–49 cards drawn side bets are all about how many cards it will take before a Joker card will be matched. The maximum number of cards drawn per round until a match with the Joker bet is 49, hence the 46-49 cards drawn side bet being the final bet. Additionally, the side bets in Evolution’s Super Andar Bahar can be assigned random multipliers resulting in a maximum total payout of 3,999:1.

Online Andar Bahar Game Winning Tricks

Andar Bahar is a game of chance with no obvious strategy available that will help players win big, but there are some tricks and betting systems available that can be helpful to players.

Bet on the Side that Goes First

Most Andar Bahar tables start dealing cards on the Andar side which results in an instant win. When playing on tables where Bahar starts first, bettors should consider betting on Bahar.

Practice One-Sided Betting

Betting one-sidedly on Andar or Bahar will allow players to get a few winning streaks that can add up their winnings little by little. Sticking with Andar when Andar goes first will result in lower payouts when getting winning streaks while sticking with Bahar when Andar goes first will result in higher payouts but missed opportunities when the first card dealt matches the Joker.

Bettors can either place flat bets or use systems that adjust bets to try and increase their one-sided bet payouts.

Place Flat Bets

Flat betting is simply staking the same amount of money regardless of wins and losses. While not exactly a strategy, it is still useful in limiting a player’s losses. Flat betting on Andar may help in winning more consistently.

Use the 1-3-2-4 or 1-3-2-6 Betting Systems

The 1-3-2-4 and 1-3-2-6 betting systems are simple systems that only require players to stake a preset amount of betting units per win. The steps to use these systems are the following:

1-3-2-4	1-3-2-6
Bet 1 unit or 10 INR until you win.	Bet 1 unit or 10 INR until you win.
Bet 3 units or 30 INR. If you lose, go back to the first step.	Bet 3 units or 30 INR. If you lose, go back to the first step.
Bet 2 units or 20 INR. If you lose, go back to the first step.	Bet 2 units or 20 INR. If you lose, go back to the first step.
Bet 4 units or 40 INR. If you lose, go back to the first step.	Bet 6 units or $60 INR. If you lose, go back to the first step.
Leave the table with your winnings or go back to the first step.	Leave the table with your winnings or go back to the first step.

In 1-3-2-4, losing on the fourth step results in winning 20 INR. In 1-3-2-6, losing on the fourth step results in breaking even. 1-3-2-4 is safer that 1-3-2-6 but the latter results to a higher payout.

Play the Side Bets

Online Andar Bahar’s side bets pay fairly well and can be used effectively to supplement a bettor’s winnings. The lower payout side bets have more chances of paying out but staking on 31–35, 36–40, 41–45, and 46–49 from time to time may pay out well when staking high on Andar or Bahar anyway. This is especially the case thanks to the multipliers that are randomly assigned on the side bets.
