Andar Bahar is one of the most beloved card games across the subcontinent — fast, instinctive, and deeply familiar to players from Karachi to Lahore. At pk17, you can enjoy Andar Bahar in both live dealer and RNG formats, with PKR deposits via JazzCash and EasyPaisa and withdrawals processed in minutes.
If you've ever sat around a family gathering in Lahore or watched a card session unfold at a friend's place in Faisalabad, chances are you've come across Andar Bahar. Known in some circles as Katti, this is a traditional Indian subcontinent card game that has been played for generations — long before the internet existed, long before online casinos did.
The mechanics are beautifully simple. A single card — called the joker card or trump card — is drawn from a shuffled standard 52-card deck and placed face-up in the centre of the table. Two piles are then established: Andar (meaning "inside", dealt to the left) and Bahar (meaning "outside", dealt to the right). The dealer alternates dealing cards to each side, one at a time, until a card matching the rank of the joker card appears. Your job, before that dealing begins, is to correctly predict which side — Andar or Bahar — will receive the matching card first.
That's genuinely the entire game. No complicated poker hands to memorise, no strategy charts, no multi-step decisions. Just a single binary choice, made with instinct and a touch of probability awareness. It's one of the reasons Andar Bahar has always been so popular — anyone can understand it within thirty seconds, yet the live dealer experience at pk17 makes every round feel genuinely exciting.
The game gained enormous popularity online over the last decade as live dealer studios began offering professional broadcast-quality Andar Bahar tables with real human dealers. At pk17, you're getting exactly that experience — HD-quality live streams, professional dealers, real-time chat, and the ability to place bets and collect winnings in Pakistani Rupees without ever needing to convert currency.
Age Restriction: Andar Bahar and all live casino games at pk17 are strictly for players aged 21 years and above. Identity verification is required before withdrawals are processed. Please play responsibly.
New to Andar Bahar? Here's the full round broken down step by step. You'll be comfortable placing real PKR bets within minutes.
Log in to pk17 and head to the cashier. Deposit PKR instantly using JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL, UBL, or Meezan Bank. Funds appear in your account in real time — no waiting, no bank transfer delays.
Navigate to the Andar Bahar lobby at pk17. Select from multiple live dealer tables with varying bet limits — from low-stakes tables suited to casual sessions to high-limit tables for players who like the bigger swings.
The live dealer draws a single card and places it face-up in the centre. This is the joker card. Note its rank — for example, a 7 of Hearts — because the round ends only when another 7 (any suit) appears on either side.
Before the dealing begins, place your bet on Andar, Bahar, or any available side bets. The betting window is brief — typically 20 to 30 seconds — so have your chips ready. Minimum and maximum bet sizes are clearly displayed on screen.
The dealer alternates cards between Andar and Bahar, one at a time. There's no rush — watch each card flip in real time on the HD stream. The suspense builds with every card, especially when the matching rank is close to appearing.
The moment the matching card lands, the round ends. Winning bets are paid out instantly to your pk17 balance. From there, withdraw to JazzCash or EasyPaisa — most withdrawals complete within 5 to 30 minutes.
The core game is a binary choice, but pk17's Andar Bahar tables offer several additional betting options for players who want more variety in each round.
You are predicting that the matching card will appear on the Andar (left) pile first. This is the traditional "inside" bet. Because dealing begins on the Andar side in most versions, it carries a very slight statistical edge. Pays close to even money.
You are predicting that the matching card will land on the Bahar (right) pile. Since dealing starts on Andar, Bahar has a marginally longer expected wait — and accordingly, most pay tables offer slightly better odds on a Bahar win to compensate.
Before the joker card is drawn, some pk17 Andar Bahar variants allow you to bet on the suit of the first card — Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, or Spades. With four possible outcomes, this side bet pays 3:1 and adds an extra layer of anticipation before the main round begins.
Bet that the matching card will appear within the first 5 cards dealt across both piles. This is a high-risk side bet with an attractive payout. It rewards players who trust their gut when the joker card is a common rank like a 7 or 8.
The opposite bet — you predict the round will run long, with the matching card appearing only after 12 or more cards have been dealt. Rounds that go deep are less common, which is why this side bet offers some of the best payout ratios in the game.
The simplest side bet available — before the joker card is revealed, pick whether it will be red (Hearts or Diamonds) or black (Clubs or Spades). A near-even probability makes this a comfortable warm-up bet for new players finding their footing at pk17.
The live dealer version of Andar Bahar at pk17 is a different experience from RNG table games — and not just visually.

Once you're comfortable with the base game, pk17 offers several Andar Bahar variants that add fresh mechanics, higher payout potential, and unique twists on the classic format.

A faster-paced variant with shorter betting windows and rapid dealing. Perfect for experienced players who want maximum rounds per session. Popular among pk17 regulars who prefer high-tempo gameplay.
