Round Rules and Flow

Learn step by step how each hand is played

Andar Bahar is played with a standard 52-card deck. The name means "inside and outside" — referring to the two betting sides. Each round begins with the dealer placing one card face-up in the middle of the table. This card is called the "joker card" or "game card".

1 The dealer reveals one card in the centre of the table — this is the foundation of the round.
2 The player decides: will the next card matching this card's value land on the "Andar" (left) side, or the "Bahar" (right) side?
3 After bets are placed, the dealer deals cards to both sides one by one — the first card goes to Andar.
4 The side that receives a card matching the game card's value wins. The round ends right there.

There is no complex hand ranking in this game — the result is decided simply when a card's value matches. With 13 values from Ace to King, each round typically ends within 5-6 cards dealt.

Card Values and Scoring System

In Andar Bahar, matching is what matters — not ranking

Card Matching Rules

Andar Bahar has no hand combinations like poker — there is only one question: which side will match the game card's value first? Ace is counted as the lowest value and King as the highest. But to win, matching the value is all that matters — suit (Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, Spades) plays no role here.

If the game card is a 7, the side that receives the first 7 wins that bet. This simplicity is the real appeal of the game: the outcome of a round becomes clear within moments.

Payout Structure

Bets can generally be placed on either Andar or Bahar. If the game card is black (Spades or Clubs), the first card goes to Andar; if it is red (Hearts or Diamonds), the first card goes to Bahar.

For this reason, many tables offer a slightly higher payout for a Bahar win, since cards start going to that side second. Some live casino tables also offer additional side bets — for example, betting on how many cards it will take to get a match.

Against the Dealer, Not Other Players

Andar Bahar is a "dealer vs. player" format — you do not need to beat other players like in poker or Teen Patti. However many players are at the table, everyone places their own bet independently and the outcome is the same for all — the side where the dealer matches the card is the winning side.

This makes the game quite comfortable for new players — there is no psychological pressure from experienced opponents, no bluffing or tactical battles. Just pick a side and watch the dealer deal the cards.

Andar Bahar can be played with a real dealer in the live casino section at rcc7 — via real-time video stream. You can log in from anywhere in Dhaka on your mobile and join a table, no travel required.

Getting Started Tips for Beginners

What you should know before sitting at the table for the first time

Watch First, Then Bet

Spend a few rounds just watching to get a feel for things. Understand the table's pace and bet limits, then start with small bets.

Set a Session Budget

Decide before you play how much money you will put into this session. Once you hit that limit, take a break — chasing losses by increasing bets is not a good approach.

Be Aware of Side Bets

Side bets add excitement, but their house edge is higher. At the start, focus only on the main Andar or Bahar bet.

Keep a Stable Connection on Mobile

A reliable internet connection is essential for live games. It is better not to start playing on a weak network — if the connection drops mid-game, your bet may get stuck.

Check the Stats, But Don't Follow Them Blindly

Many tables show the results of the last few rounds. You can use this as information, but remember that every round is independent.

Stay in Touch with the Dealer

Live tables usually have a chat feature. If you are unsure about a rule, ask the dealer — they are ready to help.

Play Responsibly

Table Etiquette and Session Management

Some important habits for a better experience

Even without being physically present at a live casino, good etiquette is worth practising. Show respect to the dealer and other players — avoid rude comments in the chat.

Make your decision within the set betting time — do not keep changing your mind at the last moment.
It is good manners not to celebrate excessively after a win, or to blame the dealer or the game after a loss.
If you lose several rounds in a row, take a short break — avoid placing large bets when you are tired or frustrated.
Set a "win target". Once you reach it, end the session — do not lose it back chasing even more.
Whether you use mobile or laptop, only start playing when you have sufficient battery and internet connection.
Set a personal rule for how many days a week and how long at a stretch you will play, and stick to it.

Frequently Asked Questions about Andar Bahar

The main bet simply requires choosing one of two sides — there is no complex strategy involved. That said, avoiding side bets, sticking to a session budget, and not placing large bets after a losing streak are practical habits that keep the experience better over the long run.

Each round typically finishes in just 15-30 seconds. Since there are 13 different values in a deck, a match usually happens within 5-6 cards dealt on average. In the fast variant, rounds end even sooner.

Both versions are available at rcc7. The live casino has a real dealer and camera, while the RNG (Random Number Generator) version runs the entire process automatically. For beginners, starting with the RNG version is a good idea as the betting time limits are a bit more flexible.

Yes, at the start of each round a new game card is drawn from a freshly shuffled deck. The game card from the previous round has no connection to the next round — every hand is completely independent.

There is a slight difference in odds as well as in name. Since the first card always goes to the Andar side, the probabilities of the two sides are not exactly equal depending on the colour of the game card and the remaining cards in the deck. This is why some tables offer a slightly higher payout for Bahar.
