How to play Andar Bahar on Goexch

The dealer places a card face up in the middle, often called the joker. You bet on Andar (inside) or Bahar (outside), plus side bets if the table offers them. Cards are then dealt to each side in turn until one matches the middle card's rank. That side wins the main bet.

• The table's minimum and maximum bet.
• The paytable for each side, because some tables pay one side slightly less.
• The side bets and their payouts. Skip any you can't explain.
• The betting timer, so your chips register before the deal starts.

Streak systems don't change the middle card, and a long Bahar run doesn't make Andar due. The Indian card games page lists Andar Bahar's bets and odds alongside Teen Patti and Dragon Tiger.

No. Only the rank counts. If the middle card is a seven of hearts, the first seven of any suit decides the round. With one seven already showing, three more are left in a single deck, which is why a round can end on the first card or run for many deals.

Whichever side receives the first card has a slightly better chance of the match, because it gets the first opportunity. Some tables balance this by paying that side a little less than even money. That's why the paytable on your table matters more than any general rule.

Many tables offer bets on how many cards are dealt before the match, in ranges such as 1 to 5 or 6 to 10. Short ranges pay more because they're less likely. Side bets usually carry a bigger house edge than the main bet.

• Rounds are fast, so set a time limit as well as a budget.
• Stick to the main bet until you've read the side-bet paytable.
• Ignore streaks. Every round starts with a fresh middle card.
