Andar Bahar is a popular traditional Indian card game that is often played as a betting game. It's a relatively simple game with straightforward rules. Here's a basic guide on how to play Andar Bahar:
Andar Bahar
Players:
Andar Bahar can be played with any number of players, but it's often played with a dealer and one or more players.
Equipment:
A standard 52-card deck.
Objective:
The game's objective is to predict on which side of the table (Andar or Bahar) a chosen card will appear after the dealer splits the deck.
Setup:
The dealer shuffles the deck and places it in the center of the table.
The dealer draws a card from the deck and places it face up in the center. This card is known as the "cut" card.
Players place their bets on either the "Andar" (inside) or "Bahar" (outside) positions on the table.
Gameplay:
Dealer's Turn:
The dealer then starts dealing cards to the Andar and Bahar positions alternatively.
Cut Card:
If the cut card appears during dealing, the game ends, and the house wins all bets.
Prediction:
Before the dealing begins, players must predict on which side (Andar or Bahar) the chosen card will appear.
Dealing Cards:
The dealer continues dealing cards alternately to the Andar and Bahar positions until a card appears that matches the rank of the cut card.
Outcome:
If the card matches the cut card and appears on the predicted side, the player wins.
If the card matches the cut card but appears on the opposite side, the house wins.
Payouts:
The payout ratio depends on the number of cards of the same rank as the cut card in the deck. Commonly, it is 1:1, but variations may exist.
Variations:
Some versions of the game may include additional side bets or bonus features.
Winning:
Players win or lose based on the outcome of their predictions.
House Rules:
Andar Bahar is often played with house rules that dictate specific aspects of the game, such as betting limits and payouts. These can vary, so it's essential to clarify the rules before playing.
