Andar Bahar is one of the most played card games across Pakistan and South Asia — and at hz88 you can enjoy it live with real dealers, real cards and PKR bets starting from just Rs 100, any time of day or night.
One of the simplest card games in existence — learn it in 30 seconds, enjoy it for hours.
The dealer places a single face-up card at the centre of the table. This is called the Game Card — the key card for the entire round. Everything that follows relates back to it.
Place your bet on Andar (left side) or Bahar (right side). You are predicting which side will receive a card of the same rank as the Game Card first. That is the entire decision.
The dealer draws cards one by one, alternating between Andar and Bahar sides. If the Game Card is a black suit, dealing begins on Andar. Red suit — dealing begins on Bahar.
The moment a card matching the rank of the Game Card lands on either side, that side wins. Round over. Winnings are credited to your hz88 wallet instantly in PKR.
From classic single-deck rounds to turbo speed formats — hz88 has the right Andar Bahar table for every type of player.

Andar Bahar has a special place in Pakistan. The game has been played at family get-togethers, late-night sessions with friends and festive gatherings across the country for generations. The rules are so simple that anyone can join a round without a tutorial — pick a side, watch the cards fall and cheer when yours lands. hz88 has taken this beloved game and delivered it in the best format a Pakistani player could want: a proper live dealer experience, crystal-clear HD video, PKR stakes, and the ability to play from any device at any time of day or night.
The game originated in South Asia — its name literally means "inside" and "outside" in Hindi and Urdu. You could not find a simpler concept for a card game: a single card is placed face-up, you pick which side gets the matching rank first, and then you watch. That is it. There is no strategy to master, no complicated hand rankings and no table etiquette to learn. The pure simplicity is why Andar Bahar has survived and thrived for so long across Pakistan, India and beyond.
When hz88 decided to build its South Asian card games section, Andar Bahar was an obvious cornerstone. Our Pakistani player base was already deeply familiar with the game — the challenge was giving them the right platform to play it. A platform with honest odds, genuine live dealers, real PKR payouts and the kind of mobile performance that works well on Pakistani mobile data connections. That is what hz88 has built, and the player feedback since launch has confirmed we got it right.
Andar and Bahar do not have perfectly equal probabilities, and this is important to understand. If the Game Card is a black suit, the first card is dealt to Andar, which gives Bahar a very slight statistical edge over a large sample of rounds. If the Game Card is red, the first card goes to Bahar, giving Andar a marginal edge instead. The difference is tiny — we are talking about fractions of a percent — but it is why most tables at hz88 pay 0.90× rather than 1.0× on both sides: a small house edge that makes the game sustainable while remaining very competitive.
Every Andar Bahar game at hz88 uses a verified physical deck shuffled by the dealer before each round on live tables, and a certified RNG for the digital versions. The game cannot be manipulated — the cards are what they are. hz88 is committed to complete transparency about this, which is why we display a full round history on every live table so you can verify results yourself in real time.
All your personal data, game history and payment information at hz88 are protected with 256-bit SSL encryption. We never sell or share your data with any external party. Your Andar Bahar round history and betting records are kept strictly confidential and are only visible to you through your account. For full information on your rights, please read our Privacy Policy.
The vast majority of Pakistani players access hz88 on their mobile phones, so the Andar Bahar mobile experience has been a top priority in our platform development. The live tables load quickly even on moderate 4G connections. The betting interface uses large touch-friendly buttons — Andar on the left, Bahar on the right — so you can place your bet confidently without worrying about mis-taps. The card animation is smooth without being data-heavy, and the dealer video scales down gracefully on slower connections without losing the essential gameplay visibility.

These are not magic strategies — Andar Bahar is primarily a game of chance. But these habits will help you get the most out of your sessions at hz88.
Before you sit down at any Andar Bahar table at hz88, decide the maximum you are comfortable spending in that session and stick to it. With rounds completing every 45 seconds, it is easy to lose track of time and stakes without a pre-set limit.
If you are new to Andar Bahar, spend 10–15 minutes on the RNG (solo) version at hz88 before joining a live table. You will get comfortable with the interface, betting timings and payout structure without any pressure.
Black Game Card = first card to Andar. Red Game Card = first card to Bahar. The side that receives the first card has a marginal statistical disadvantage. Some experienced players factor this into their decisions, though the difference is very small.
Side bets like "Match in 1st Card" (11× payout) are tempting but low probability. Treat them as occasional entertainment rather than a core part of your strategy. The main Andar/Bahar market at hz88 is where most value is.
