Andar Bahar Game Rules – How to Play & Win
Andar Bahar (also called Katti) is one of the simplest and fastest card games in India. It is a pure chance game — you bet on which side a matching card will appear on. This guide covers the complete rules, how to bet, the odds, and tips for playing Andar Bahar on IS7 Game.
What is Andar Bahar?
Andar Bahar is a traditional Indian card game that originated in Bangalore. It uses a standard 52-card deck. The name comes from the Hindi words for "Inside" (Andar) and "Outside" (Bahar) — the two sides you can bet on. The game is fast, rounds last about 30 seconds, and it is available on IS7 Game 24 hours a day.
How to Play Andar Bahar – Step by Step
The dealer draws one card from the deck and places it face-up in the centre of the table. This is called the 'Joker' or 'Game Card'. Its rank (e.g. 7, King, Ace) is the rank you are trying to match.
Before cards are dealt, you bet on either Andar (the left side) or Bahar (the right side). You are betting on which side the matching card will appear first.
The dealer deals cards one at a time, alternating between the Andar and Bahar piles. The first card always goes to Andar.
The round ends the moment a card matching the Joker's rank appears on either side. If it lands on the side you bet, you win. If not, you lose your bet.
