Andar Bahar is one of the oldest and most beloved card games across the subcontinent — and hh98 brings it to your screen with real dealers, crystal-clear HD streams, and all bets settled in Pakistani Rupees. Whether you are catching a late session in Karachi or squeezing in a few rounds in Lahore, the table is always open.
A single-deck card game with roots across South Asia — fast, intuitive, and built around one of the most naturally even bets in any casino format.
Andar — meaning "inside" in Urdu — is the left-side bet position. Statistically, the matching card lands on Andar slightly more often when the joker card falls in an odd deck position. The payout on Andar is typically 0.9:1, reflecting this marginal edge.
The dealer draws one face-up card at the start — this is the joker. It determines the target rank. The dealer then alternates cards between Andar and Bahar until a card matching the joker's rank appears. That side wins. Simple as that.
Bahar — meaning "outside" in Urdu — is the right-side bet. When the joker is a black-suited card, Bahar carries a marginally higher probability of winning. Bahar typically pays 1:1, making it the slightly more attractive side when the joker suits align.
Andar Bahar has been played at family gatherings, festive evenings, and informal card circles across Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh for generations. The game goes by different names in different regions — Katti in some parts of Karnataka, Mangatha in Tamil Nadu — but the mechanics are identical: one joker card, two sides, and a matching race that can resolve in as few as one card or stretch excitingly to 30 or more deals.
What makes Andar Bahar particularly well-suited to an online format is its speed. A standard round on hh98 takes between 30 seconds and two minutes. There is no complex strategy to memorise, no multi-street betting, and no intimidating chip geometry. You pick a side, optionally place a side bet on how many cards will be dealt, and watch the dealer reveal each card in sequence. The tension is immediate and the result is unambiguous — qualities that translate brilliantly to live streaming on mobile.
On hh98, the game uses a genuine shuffled single deck managed by a professional live dealer. The platform streams from purpose-built studios with multiple camera angles, close-up card feeds, and Urdu-speaking dealers available on selected tables — a detail that players from Lahore and Islamabad in particular have responded to very positively.

If you have never played before, you can be fully up to speed in under two minutes. Here is the complete sequence, step by step.
Sign in to your hh98 account and head to the Live Casino section. Select Andar Bahar from the game lobby to enter a live table with a real dealer.
The dealer shuffles and draws the first card face-up — this is the joker. Its rank is the target. Study it and use the brief betting window to place your chips.
Select Andar, Bahar, or both for the main bet. You can also place optional side bets on the number of cards to be dealt — these carry higher multipliers.
The dealer alternates cards between Andar and Bahar. When a card matching the joker's rank appears, the winning side is declared and your PKR winnings are instantly credited.
The base game is beautifully simple, but hh98 adds a full suite of side bets that let experienced players go after much larger multipliers within the same round.
| Bet Type | Description | Payout | House Edge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Andar (Main) | Matching card lands on the Andar side | 0.9 : 1 | ~3.0% |
| Bahar (Main) | Matching card lands on the Bahar side | 1 : 1 | ~3.0% |
| Side Bet — 1st Card | Joker is matched by the very first card dealt | 11 : 1 | ~6.5% |
| Side Bet — 2–5 Cards | Match occurs within the first 2 to 5 cards | 3 : 1 | ~5.8% |
| Side Bet — 6–10 Cards | Match occurs between cards 6 and 10 | 2 : 1 | ~5.2% |
| Side Bet — 11–15 Cards | Match occurs between cards 11 and 15 | 3 : 1 | ~5.0% |
| Side Bet — 16–25 Cards | Match occurs between cards 16 and 25 | 4 : 1 | ~5.0% |
| Side Bet — 26+ Cards | Match requires more than 25 cards to be dealt | 5 : 1 | ~5.0% |
Exact odds may vary slightly by table variant. All values shown are based on the standard hh98 Classic Andar Bahar table. Side bets are optional and carry a higher house edge than the main bet.
Andar Bahar is fundamentally a game of chance — the RNG and card shuffle determine all outcomes. That said, there are sensible habits that will help you enjoy longer, more disciplined sessions on hh98.
When the joker card is black (clubs or spades), Bahar statistically receives the first card and carries a marginally better probability of winning — which is why its payout is the full 1:1. When the joker is red, the edge shifts slightly. This is a small mathematical reality, not a reliable system, but it is worth knowing.
Side bets on card count carry higher multipliers but also higher house edges. A reasonable approach on hh98 is to anchor the majority of your stack on the main Andar or Bahar bet and use a small fraction — perhaps 10 to 15 percent of your round budget — for occasional side bet action on the shorter-count outcomes.
The Turbo and Speed Andar Bahar tables on hh98 complete rounds in as little as 22 seconds. The pace is exhilarating, but it means your session budget gets consumed faster than on the Classic table. Set a time or loss limit before you sit down — the hh98 account tools make this very easy to do.
Every Andar Bahar table on hh98 uses independently certified random number generation. The shuffle outcome cannot be predicted or influenced by any bet pattern, session history, or time of day. Players who believe they have identified a "hot" or "cold" streak are observing normal variance, not a real pattern.
Selected hh98 tables feature dealers who conduct the game in Urdu, making the live experience feel genuinely local. A detail that matters to players in Lahore, Islamabad, and Faisalabad who prefer commentary in their first language.
