JOKER CARD
The Game
Andar Bahar – sometimes called Katti – is one of the simplest and most satisfying card games to ever come out of South Asia. It started in India but quickly spread across the region, and today you will find people playing it from Karachi to Lahore, from Peshawar to Quetta. The concept is so clean that you can explain it to someone in thirty seconds and they will be ready to play.
A single card is placed face-up in the middle of the table – this is the Joker card. The dealer then deals cards alternately to two piles: Andar (meaning "inside") on the left, and Bahar (meaning "outside") on the right. You bet on which pile will receive a card of the same value as the Joker first. That is the entire game. No complex hands, no strategy charts, no bluffing.
Gamdom brings this beloved game online in a live dealer format that feels remarkably close to playing around a table with friends and family. The dealers are professional, the streaming quality is excellent, and the pace of each round keeps things exciting without feeling rushed.
The dealer draws and places one card face-up in the centre. This is the Joker. Its value (e.g. 7 of Diamonds) determines the target for the entire round.
Before any more cards are dealt, you bet on either Andar or Bahar. You are predicting which side will receive a matching card first.
The dealer deals one card at a time, alternating between Andar (left) and Bahar (right), starting with Andar. Each card is placed face-up so everyone can see.
The moment a card matching the Joker's value lands on either pile, that pile wins. Bets on the winning side are paid out. The next round begins immediately.

Bet Types
The core bet is straightforward, but Gamdom's Andar Bahar tables add depth through a range of side bets that experienced players use to find better value every round.
You bet the matching card will appear on the Andar pile. This is statistically favoured slightly since Andar receives the first card dealt. The odds reflect this small advantage.
Payout: 0.9:1You bet the matching card lands on Bahar. Since Bahar receives the second card of each pair, it is slightly less likely to win – and the odds pay slightly more to reflect this.
Payout: 1:1Bet on how many cards will be dealt before the matching card appears. Markets typically cover ranges like 1–5 cards, 6–10, 11–15, and 16+. A popular side bet at Gamdom's Deluxe table.
Payout: variesBefore the Joker is revealed, bet on whether it will be a red card (Hearts/Diamonds) or a black card (Spades/Clubs). Simple 50/50 market with immediate settlement.
Payout: 1:1Predict the exact suit of the Joker card before it is turned over. Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, or Spades – each has an equal probability with a 3:1 payout.
Payout: 3:1Bet on the numerical range the Joker card will fall in: Ace–5, 6–10, or Jack–King. Higher-odds market for players who want to add prediction elements beyond the main bet.
Payout: up to 2.5:1The matching card must be not just the same value but also the same suit as the Joker. Much harder to achieve, which is reflected in the higher payout for this specific side bet.
Payout: up to 11:1Bet on the value or suit of the very first card dealt to either Andar or Bahar after the Joker is revealed. Quick-settle side market popular for its immediate result.

Reading the History
Every Gamdom Andar Bahar table shows a history display of recent results – typically the last 30 to 60 rounds. Each circle represents one round: circles outlined in the primary colour indicate an Andar win, and darker circles indicate a Bahar win.
This display is purely informational. Since each round of Andar Bahar is independent – a fresh deck or continuous shuffle is used – past results have no mathematical influence on future outcomes. The history is useful for observing the general flow of a session, but experienced players know not to over-rely on streak patterns when placing their bets.
The most useful habit is to track your own session: how many rounds you have played, your current balance vs your starting balance, and whether you are approaching your pre-set session budget. Gamdom makes this easy by keeping your balance clearly visible at all times.

Smart Play Tips
Andar Bahar rounds are fast. Decide before you start exactly how much you are willing to play with and stop when you hit that limit – win or lose.
Betting the same amount each round keeps your session predictable and manageable. Chasing losses by doubling up is the fastest way to blow through your budget.
The Andar bet wins slightly more often because it receives the first card. That is why it pays 0.9:1 instead of 1:1. Both bets have a similar overall house edge once payouts are factored in.
Side bets offer bigger payouts but carry a higher house edge. Most experienced players place the bulk of their stake on Andar or Bahar and use side bets sparingly for excitement.
If you hit a good session early, locking in some of those winnings by taking a break or stopping entirely is always a valid option. Gamdom's withdrawal process makes this easy and fast.

Deep Dive
Andar Bahar has always had a natural home in South Asian homes and social gatherings. Unlike poker or blackjack, it requires no memorisation and no complex decision-making. Everyone at a table can follow along from round one. This accessibility is exactly why the game has remained popular across generations and why its online version has been so enthusiastically adopted by players in Pakistan who discovered it via digital platforms.
The game translates exceptionally well to the live dealer online format. The dealer interaction, the drama of watching each card placed one by one, the moment the matching card finally lands – all of it comes through clearly in the live stream. Gamdom invests in studios and production quality that preserve the feel of an actual card game rather than the cold, automated experience of an RNG table.
The mathematics behind Andar Bahar is genuinely interesting once you look at it. With a standard 52-card deck, there are exactly three other cards of the same value as the Joker. Those three cards are equally likely to appear at any position in the remaining 51 cards. The question is simply whether the first of those three matching cards falls on an odd-numbered position in the deal (Andar) or an even-numbered position (Bahar).
Because Andar receives the first card dealt, it has a marginally higher chance of winning. This probability advantage is small – roughly a 51.5% win rate for Andar versus 48.5% for Bahar when dealing from position one. The payout structure on Gamdom (0.9:1 for Andar, 1:1 for Bahar) adjusts for this difference, resulting in a similar theoretical return for both bets over time. Neither bet is dramatically superior in the long run – both are close to the 97.85% RTP mark.
One of the most consistent pieces of feedback Gamdom receives from Pakistani players is how much smoother the experience feels when everything operates in rupees. The minimum deposit is Rs 100 – genuinely accessible for anyone who wants to try the live Andar Bahar tables without committing a large amount upfront. Funds arrive in your wallet instantly regardless of the payment method you choose.
Withdrawals via Easypaisa and JazzCash complete in under ten minutes in nearly all cases. IBFT bank transfers may take a few hours depending on your bank. There are no withdrawal fees charged by Gamdom – the amount you request is the amount that arrives. Minimum withdrawal is Rs 500. If you win Rs 4,200 playing Andar Bahar on a Thursday evening, you can have that money back in your mobile wallet before you go to sleep.
Andar Bahar's fast pace is part of what makes it entertaining, but it also means sessions can accelerate quickly. Gamdom provides a full set of responsible gaming tools to help you stay in control. From your account settings you can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits that prevent you from adding funds beyond a threshold you set for yourself. Session time reminders alert you after you have been playing for a set amount of time. If you feel you need a complete break, the self-exclusion feature removes access to your account for a period you choose.
Playing Andar Bahar on Gamdom is meant to be fun. If it stops being fun or starts causing financial worry, the tools to step back are there and easy to use. For full information, visit our Responsible Gaming page.
