ANDAR
JOKER
BAHAR
Andar Bahar — sometimes called Katti — is one of the oldest and most beloved card games across South Asia. It's been played in homes, at family gatherings and among friends for generations, long before the idea of an online casino even existed. The rules are refreshingly simple, which is exactly why it has survived and thrived for so long.
The game starts with the dealer drawing a single card — called the Joker card. Your job as a player is to predict which side, Andar (inside/left) or Bahar (outside/right), will receive a card of the same value before the other side does. That's it. There's no complex strategy to memorise, no poker hierarchy to remember, and no intimidating table etiquette to worry about. You pick a side, you watch the cards fall, and you either win or you don't.
On 98 PKR, this classic experience has been brought to life with professional live dealers who run the tables in real time, HD streaming, and a betting interface built for Pakistani players. You can join a table at 2am or 2pm — there's always a game running. The minimum bet is designed to be accessible whether you're putting in Rs 100 or Rs 10,000 per round.
What makes Andar Bahar on 98 PKR feel different from other platforms is the attention to the local experience. The dealers are familiar with the desi card-playing culture, rounds move at a pace that feels natural rather than rushed, and the PKR-native payment system means you're never dealing with conversion rates or confusing foreign currencies. You deposit in rupees, you bet in rupees, and you get paid back in rupees.
Historical stats only — each round is independent. Past results do not affect future outcomes.
If you've never played before, you'll have it figured out in under two minutes. Seriously.
The dealer draws a single card face-up and places it in the centre. This is the Joker — the card whose value you need to match. It could be any card from 2 to Ace.
Before more cards are drawn, you place your bet on either Andar (left) or Bahar (right). You can also add optional side bets for extra payout opportunities.
The dealer alternates cards between Andar and Bahar piles. This continues until a card matching the Joker's value appears on either side. There's no limit to how many rounds it takes.
Whichever side receives the matching card wins. If you bet correctly, you win. Winnings are credited instantly to your 98 PKR balance in PKR.
Bet that the matching card appears on the left/inside pile first. Traditionally considered slightly more likely since dealing begins on Andar when the Joker is a black card.
vs
Bet that the matching card appears on the right/outside pile first. Slightly less likely on the first card if dealing starts Andar — but equal probability from the second card onward.
Beyond the standard Andar or Bahar bet, 98 PKR offers a range of optional side bets on each round. These are entirely voluntary — you can play pure Andar/Bahar if you prefer simplicity — but the side bets add genuine excitement, especially when the Joker card position creates an unusual setup.
The most popular side bet among regular players on 98 PKR is the "Number of Cards" bet — predicting whether the matching card will appear within a specific range of deals. Get it right and you can collect payouts of x11 or more on a single round, which can seriously boost your session winnings when the cards cooperate.
A word of caution: side bets always carry a higher house edge than the main Andar/Bahar bet. They're great fun and can deliver big moments, but treat them as entertainment extras rather than your primary betting strategy. The base game on 98 PKR has some of the best RTPs in online Andar Bahar — lean on that.

Andar Bahar is fundamentally a 50/50 game — there's no system that can change the underlying probability of where the matching card will land. Anyone telling you otherwise is not being straight with you. What you can control is how efficiently you manage your bets and your sessions, which is where most of the "skill" in Andar Bahar actually lives.
The slight asymmetry worth knowing: when the Joker card is a black suit (♠ or ♣), dealing traditionally begins on Andar, giving it a fractional statistical edge on that very first card. When the Joker is red (♥ or ♦), dealing begins on Bahar. This edge is tiny — less than 3% — and only applies to the first card deal, but it's worth knowing if you're placing first-card side bets on 98 PKR.
Beyond that, the most practical advice is budget-based: set a clear session limit before you join a table, decide your standard bet size (typically 1–2% of your session budget per round works well), and stick to it. Andar Bahar moves fast, especially on Turbo tables — having a pre-set plan stops the pace from sweeping you into larger bets than you intended.
