Andar Bahar is one of South Asia's oldest card games — and one of the most popular live dealer games in Bangladesh. The rules fit on a single sentence: pick the side that receives a card matching the dealer's opening card first. The live Evolution Gaming version has RTP 97.85%, and you can play it at Glory Casino or Banger Casino with BKash from ৳500.
How Andar Bahar Works
The game uses a single standard deck of 52 cards. The dealer draws one card face-up — this is the "Joker" or Game Card. Your job is to predict which side, Andar (left/inside) or Bahar (right/outside), will receive a card of matching rank first. The dealer then deals cards alternately to each side until the match appears. If you picked the right side, you win.
One round in 4 steps
- Dealer draws the Joker card and places it face-up at centre
- You bet — Andar or Bahar
- Dealer deals cards alternately to both sides
- First side to receive a card matching the Joker's rank wins
Andar Bahar RTP & House Edge
Andar Bahar has one of the lowest house edges of any live dealer game — making it genuinely competitive from a value standpoint.
| Bet Type | Payout | House Edge |
|---|---|---|
| Andar (main bet) | 0.9:1 | ~2.15% |
| Bahar (main bet) | 1:1 | ~2.85% |
| Side bets (varies) | Up to 120:1 | 3–8% |
Andar pays slightly less (0.9:1) because the first card after the Joker is dealt to Andar, giving it a marginal statistical advantage. Bahar pays 1:1 to compensate for going second.
Andar Bahar Variants Available in Bangladesh

Should You Bet Andar or Bahar?
Statistically, Andar wins slightly more often (~51.5% vs ~48.5%) because it receives the first card. However, Andar pays 0.9:1 rather than 1:1. Over thousands of rounds the house edge is similar for both sides. The practical recommendation: bet Bahar for even-money payouts when you have no preference, or Andar if you're willing to accept a lower payout for a marginally higher win rate.
Side bets (card suit, card value, how many cards are dealt) have higher payouts but also higher house edges. They're best used occasionally for excitement — not as a consistent strategy.

Live chat in Bengali would be nice but English support is fast enough.
Aviator works really well here. 97% RTP feels accurate from my experience.
