Past results shown for reference only. Each round is independent.
The dealer draws one card and places it face-up in the centre. This is the Joker card. Your goal is to predict which side – Andar (left) or Bahar (right) – will receive a card of the same rank first.
Choose Andar or Bahar and enter your stake in PKR. You can also place optional side bets on how many cards will be dealt before the match. Minimum bet is Rs 50.
Cards are dealt one at a time, alternating between Andar and Bahar. The round ends the moment a card matching the Joker's rank appears on either side.
If your chosen side receives the matching card, you win. Winnings hit your 98 game wallet instantly. Withdraw to Easypaisa or JazzCash in under 10 minutes.
Andar has a slight statistical edge because it receives the first card after the Joker is placed. This is reflected in the payout rates on most 98 game tables.

If you have grown up anywhere in South Asia, you have probably played some version of Andar Bahar – whether it is what your family calls it or some local variation with slightly different rules. The game has been played at gatherings, dhabas, family functions and slow evenings for generations. There is something deeply familiar about it. The simplicity is the point. Two sides, one matching card, one decision to make. That is the whole game. And that simplicity is why it has survived for so long and why it translates so perfectly into an online format.
What 98 game has done with Andar Bahar is take that familiar, uncomplicated core and give it a proper online infrastructure. Live dealers instead of a static RNG. Real-time card dealing streamed directly to your phone. PKR bets, PKR payouts, and withdrawal to the payment methods Pakistanis already use every day. There are no foreign currency conversions, no complicated registration processes, and no download required. You open 98 game in your phone browser, log in, and the table is waiting.
A common misconception among new players is that Andar and Bahar have exactly equal chances of winning in any given round. The reality is slightly more nuanced. Because Andar receives the first card after the Joker is placed, it has a marginally higher probability of winning – around 50.8% versus Bahar's 49.2% across large samples. This is a very small difference but it is consistent, and it is why most Andar Bahar tables including those on 98 game pay slightly less on Andar wins compared to Bahar wins in some bet configurations.
For practical purposes, this difference is too small to influence how you should play. Andar Bahar is fundamentally a 50/50 game with a very small edge built in for the house. The strategy, if you can call it that, is mostly about bet management rather than reading patterns in the results. Neither Andar nor Bahar is "due" a win just because the other side has won several rounds in a row. Each round is completely independent.
The basic Andar or Bahar bet is straightforward, but what keeps experienced players on 98 game engaged are the side bets. These are optional additional wagers you can place alongside your main bet, and they typically pay out at much higher odds. The most common side bets available on 98 game Andar Bahar tables are: the number of cards dealt before the match (under or over a specific count), whether the matching card will appear in the first five cards dealt, whether the Joker card is red or black, and whether the Joker is a specific suit.
Side bets are higher variance than the main bet, which means you can win significantly more from a small stake but the house edge is also higher on most of them. The sweet spot for most players on 98 game is to keep the majority of their round budget on the main Andar or Bahar bet and use a small fraction on one side bet of their choice. This keeps the session interesting without exposing your whole stack to the riskier payouts.
Playing Andar Bahar against a random number generator is fine for practice, but the live dealer version on 98 game is noticeably more engaging. You are watching a real person deal real physical cards in real time. The stream quality is high, the dealers are professional and personable, and you can see the full table – Joker card in the middle, Andar pile on the left, Bahar pile on the right – as each card is dealt. That visual transparency is something an RNG-based game simply cannot replicate. You know exactly what is happening and why.
The live chat feature on 98 game's live dealer tables also adds a social dimension. You can see other players at the same table, observe their bets (though not their identities), and feel the shared excitement when a round goes to a surprising side after many cards have been dealt. For players who miss the social aspect of playing Andar Bahar in person, the live dealer format is as close as online gaming gets to the real thing.
Because Andar Bahar rounds are fast – a typical round on 98 game's Speed table runs in under 20 seconds – it is very easy to play more rounds than you intended in a short space of time. This is not unique to Andar Bahar; it is a feature of all fast-paced card games. The practical implication is that you should decide your session budget before you start, not during the session when you are caught up in the game. A simple rule: decide the maximum you are willing to lose in a session and stop when you reach it, regardless of whether you are up or down.
98 game provides deposit and loss limit tools in the account settings. Setting a daily deposit limit via Easypaisa or JazzCash is one of the most effective ways to stay within your budget, because once the limit is reached, the system will not allow further deposits until the period resets. Many regular 98 game players use this feature and consider it a sensible part of their regular playing routine rather than something to be avoided.
The 98 game welcome bonus is eligible for use on Andar Bahar tables, though the specific wagering contribution rate depends on the table type. Standard Andar Bahar contributes 100% toward bonus wagering requirements, meaning every Rs 1 bet in the main market counts as Rs 1 toward clearing your bonus. Side bets contribute at a reduced rate. The standard wagering requirement for using bonus funds on live card games at 98 game is 15x, which is a standard rate for live table games globally.
If you prefer to play without bonus funds and withdraw freely, 98 game allows you to decline or opt out of bonus offers before depositing. Many experienced players do this specifically for live table games where the wagering requirement adds complication. Whether you take the bonus or not, your gameplay experience on 98 game Andar Bahar tables is exactly the same.
