Game Overview
What Is Andar Bahar?
Andar Bahar — also called Katti in some regions — is a traditional Indian card game that traces its
roots back centuries to street card games played across South Asia. The name literally translates to
"Inside Outside" in Hindi, which describes the two betting positions on the table: Andar (inside, left)
and Bahar (outside, right).
The mechanic is refreshingly straightforward. A single Joker card is drawn face-up in the center of
the table. The dealer then alternately deals cards to the Andar and Bahar piles, one at a time. Your
job is simply to predict which side — Andar or Bahar — will receive a card matching the Joker's value
first. That's the entire game. No complex strategy charts, no memorizing hand rankings, no long waits
between rounds.
This simplicity is exactly why Andar Bahar has exploded in popularity across online casinos in Southeast
Asia, including the Philippines. Filipino players who grew up playing pusoy dos or tong-its
with the family find Andar Bahar instantly approachable — and the fast pace keeps things exciting even
during short gaming sessions.
