One card in the middle, two sides to bet on, and a result in seconds. Andar Bahar is the most straightforward card game in Pakistan — and at by999, it comes with live dealers, side bets, and instant PKR payouts to Easypaisa or JazzCash.
HOW A ROUND LOOKS — LIVE AT BY999
The dealer draws cards alternately to Andar and Bahar until one side matches the Joker's rank. That side wins. Simple as that.
Andar Bahar — which translates roughly to "Inside Outside" — is one of the oldest and most played card games across South Asia. It originated in India but has been part of social gatherings in Pakistan for generations, particularly in Karachi, Lahore, and Multan, where informal card sessions have long been a staple of community life.
The reason it remains so popular is exactly its simplicity. A single deck of cards, one face-up joker card placed in the centre, and two betting positions — Andar (inside/left) and Bahar (outside/right). The dealer draws cards one at a time, alternating between the two sides, until one side receives a card matching the rank of the joker. Whichever side gets the matching card first wins.
That is genuinely the whole game. There is no strategy to memorise, no hand rankings to study, no complex betting structures to navigate. You see the joker, you pick a side, and within about twenty seconds you know the result. This makes Andar Bahar ideal for players who want a fast, honest, low-complexity game where gut feel is as valid as any mathematical approach.
At by999, we have brought Andar Bahar to life with professional live dealers, multiple side bet options for players who want more depth, and a clean mobile interface that works perfectly on any Pakistani phone. Rounds complete quickly, payouts land instantly, and you can jump in or out at any point without missing anything important.

Andar Bahar is a game of near-pure chance — the odds between Andar and Bahar are extremely close to 50/50 (with a slight statistical edge to Andar over the long run due to the first-card draw rule). That said, experienced players at by999 approach the game with certain habits that keep their sessions profitable and enjoyable.
Understand the First-Draw Advantage. Statistically, Andar wins roughly 51.5% of rounds over a large sample, because if the joker card appears on the very first draw, Andar wins. This tiny edge is why many by999 regulars default to Andar for their main bet.
Use Side Bets Sparingly. The high-payout side bets — particularly the "number of cards" bet — are exciting but carry a much higher house edge. by999's experienced players treat them as entertainment, not strategy. Keep your main bet on Andar or Bahar and use side bets for small amounts only.
Set a Round Limit, Not Just a Money Limit. Andar Bahar at by999 moves fast. It is easy to play fifty rounds before you realise how much time has passed. Setting a round limit — say, one hundred rounds per session — keeps your play deliberate and your bankroll controlled.
Try Speed Tables for Volume Play. If you prefer placing many small bets rather than fewer larger ones, by999's Speed Andar Bahar table is ideal. Faster rounds mean more data, and consistent small wins compound meaningfully across a session.
The main bet is simple. Side bets add spice — and significantly bigger potential payouts.
Guess the suit of the joker before it is revealed. Four options, 3:1 payout. A fun warm-up bet while you settle into the table at by999.
This is the high-variance side bet. Predict how many total cards will be drawn before a match occurs. Payouts reach 120:1 for the rarest outcomes — single-card matches.
Will the joker be red or black? 1:1 payout. This is essentially an extra coin-flip bet built into every round at by999, and many players use it as a hedge alongside their main Andar or Bahar wager.
Bet on whether the joker rank falls in the low (A–6), mid (7–10), or high (J–K) range. Mid and high ranges pay 2:1, giving you a decent shot at doubling up before the main round even begins.
Which side — Andar or Bahar — gets the very first card dealt? A straight 1:1 payout and a completely independent bet from your main position. Popular on by999's Speed tables.
The most precise — and highest paying — side bet at by999. Predict the exact number of cards drawn before a match. Only for brave players; payouts when you hit are memorable.
