What Is Andar Bahar?
If you've grown up in Pakistan, chances are you've seen Andar Bahar being played at family gatherings, festivals, or at someone's dhaaba during a lazy afternoon. It's one of those games that doesn't need a lengthy explanation — it's simple, fast, and genuinely thrilling. At CB999, we've taken this beloved card game and brought it into the digital age with high-definition live dealers, smooth gameplay, and tables running around the clock.
The basic premise is beautifully straightforward: a dealer places one card face-up in the centre — this is known as the joker card or the trump card. Cards are then dealt alternately to two sides: Andar (Inside, on the left) and Bahar (Outside, on the right). Your job is to predict which side will receive the card matching the same value as the joker first. That's it. No complicated strategy charts. No poker face required. Just pick a side and feel the rush.
At CB999, we run multiple live Andar Bahar tables simultaneously, each hosted by a professional dealer. The tables support bets in Pakistani Rupees, so there's no need to deal with currency conversions. Whether you're depositing via Easypaisa or JazzCash, your balance reflects in PKR and you bet in PKR. Simple, clean, and built for Pakistani players.

The Cultural Roots of Andar Bahar in Pakistan
Unlike most casino games that were imported from Western gambling traditions, Andar Bahar has deep roots across the Indian subcontinent. For Pakistani players, there's a familiar, almost nostalgic quality to the game. It's been played in homes, on rooftops, and at local celebrations for generations. The rules are so intuitive that even someone who has never played a card game before can pick it up within minutes.
At CB999, we've tried to preserve that authentic feel even in the online format. Our live dealers are warm, professional, and the game moves at a natural pace — not rushed, not artificial. You can chat during the game, watch the cards be dealt in real time, and feel the same sense of anticipation as if you were sitting around a table with friends.
We also understand that Pakistani players have different playing habits compared to users in other markets. Some prefer small stakes and long sessions; others want high-frequency action. That's why CB999 offers multiple table types to suit everyone, from the casual Rs 100 player to the serious high roller betting Rs 1,00,000 per round.
How to Play Andar Bahar — Step by Step
Even if you've never played before, you'll be up and running in minutes.
The Joker Card Is Revealed
The dealer draws one card and places it face-up in the centre of the table. This is the reference card — the card whose rank you're looking for on either side.
Place Your Bet — Andar or Bahar
Before dealing begins, you place your bet on Andar (left/inside) or Bahar (right/outside). You're betting on which side will receive a card of the same rank as the joker first.
Cards Are Dealt Alternately
The dealer draws cards one by one, alternating between Andar and Bahar. If the joker card appeared in a red suit, dealing starts with Bahar; for black suits, it starts with Andar.
Match Found — Round Over
As soon as a card matching the joker's rank appears on either side, the round ends. If it lands on the side you bet, you win. Payouts are near 1:1 with slight house edge adjustments.

Bet Types Available at CB999
Beyond the main Andar/Bahar bet, CB999 offers exciting side bets.
| Bet Type | Description | Approx. Payout |
|---|---|---|
| Main – Andar | Joker card appears on Andar side | 0.9:1 |
| Main – Bahar | Joker card appears on Bahar side | 1:1 |
| First Card Suit | Predict the suit of the joker card | 3:1 |
| Number of Cards | How many cards before a match? (ranges) | Up to 9:1 |

CB999 Tip: New players should stick to the main Andar/Bahar bet while getting a feel for the game. Side bets are great for adding variety once you're comfortable, but the main bet gives you the closest to 50/50 odds you'll find in any card game.

Smart Tips for Andar Bahar Players
Andar Bahar is fundamentally a game of chance — there's no skill that can guarantee you'll win every round. But there are smart habits that experienced players at CB999 have developed over time that help them stay in control and enjoy the game more responsibly.
Set a session budget: Decide how much you're comfortable playing with before you start. Once that limit is hit — win or lose — log out and come back another time. This single habit makes the biggest difference.
Don't chase losses: A bad run of rounds doesn't mean you're "due" a win. Each round is independent. Chasing losses by doubling up repeatedly is the fastest way to drain a balance at any card game.
Start with the Classic table: If you're new to CB999's Andar Bahar, the Classic Table with its Rs 100 minimum is the ideal place to get a feel for pacing and side bets before moving to higher-stakes tables.
Use side bets sparingly: Side bets are exciting and can produce big payouts, but their house edge is significantly higher than the main Andar/Bahar bet. Use them occasionally for fun, not as your primary strategy.
Take advantage of bonuses wisely: CB999 offers reload bonuses and free credits that can give you extra playing time on Andar Bahar tables. Check the promotions section regularly and use bonus funds on lower-stakes tables to extend your sessions.
