cx crickex Andar Bahar — a fresh experience with a traditional card game
Andar Bahar, the classic card game of the Indian subcontinent, is now available at cx crickex live tables. Simple rules and fast rounds — you know which side wins within seconds.
How a round works
Andar Bahar is essentially a prediction-based card game played with a standard 52-card deck. At the start of each round the dealer draws one card from the middle of the deck and places it face-up in the centre of the table — this is called the "Joker Card" or "Trump Card". This card is the basis of the entire round.
Two positions are then in play on the table: Andar (inside) on the left and Bahar (outside) on the right. The player must predict whether the card matching the rank of the Joker Card will land on the Andar pile or the Bahar pile.
After bets are placed, the dealer alternately deals one card to each side. Whichever side receives the matching card first wins. Rounds can end so quickly that a result sometimes appears after only a few cards, while other times it can take up to half the deck.
In the live version at cx crickex, a trained dealer distributes cards in real time and the entire process can be watched live via video stream. You can go to the live section of cx crickex Casino and choose a table directly.
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Joker Card | The dealer places one card from the deck in the centre; this is the target card for the round. |
| 2. Place Bets | The player bets on either Andar or Bahar. |
| 3. Card Dealing | The dealer alternately places cards on each side. |
| 4. Result | The side that receives the card matching the Joker Card's rank wins. |
| 5. Payout | The winning bet is typically paid at 1:0.9 or 1:1. |
Understanding card values and scoring
Andar Bahar does not have hand rankings like poker or Teen Patti. Only one match is checked — the rank of the Joker Card. That means if the Joker Card is a 7, whichever side receives any 7 of any suit first wins. The suit (Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs or Spades) plays no role.
In terms of payment, on most Andar Bahar tables the Andar side has a slightly higher chance of winning because the first card of each round is always dealt to Andar. For this reason some versions pay 1:0.9 (i.e. 90% payout) for a winning Andar bet and 1:1 (equal to the bet amount) for a winning Bahar bet.
Some live tables offer additional side bets — such as which suit the Joker Card will be, or how many cards will be dealt before the match. These side bets offer higher payouts but have lower probability.
Rank match only
The suit can differ — only the card number or face value needs to be the same.
Simple RulesPayout difference
Andar wins at 0.9x, Bahar wins at 1x — this small difference affects betting strategy.
PayoutSide bets
Alongside the main bet, extra rewards are available for predicting the suit or card count.
Bonus BetAgainst the dealer or against other players?
In the casino format, Andar Bahar is played directly against the dealer — not against other players. It is not like poker or Teen Patti where you compete against each other's hands.
Multiple players can sit at a live table at the same time, but everyone bets on the same round with the same dealer. Which side each player bets on does not affect anyone else's result — every bet is independent.
This is why Andar Bahar is particularly easy for newcomers: there is no need to read other players' strategies, no bluffing, just managing your own prediction and bet size. Various table limits are available in the cx crickex live lobby, so you can choose a table that fits your budget.
Those playing online for the first time can also start with the RNG (Random Number Generator) version — there is no live dealer, the software deals cards automatically and the pace is even faster.
Useful tips for beginners
-
Start with small bets. Andar Bahar is a fast-paced game — build experience by watching a few rounds and placing small amounts. There is no need to rush into large bets.
-
Set your budget beforehand. Before each session, decide the maximum amount you will use that day. When you reach that limit, end the session — whether you are winning or losing.
-
Andar or Bahar — pick one. Some players always bet on one side; others switch based on patterns. Statistically the probability of each side is nearly equal, so it is better not to switch too frequently without reason.
-
Be cautious with side bets. Even though the payout on side bets looks high, the house edge is also higher. When starting out, focus on the main Andar/Bahar bet.
-
Take advantage of mobile play. The Andar Bahar tables are well optimised on the cx crickex mobile platform. All betting buttons are clearly visible even on a small screen.
-
Take a break after a win. Even during a winning streak, take a short break. Keeping your emotions in check leads to better sessions over time. Follow the guidelines on responsible gaming.
Remember
Andar Bahar is a game for entertainment. There is no perfect strategy for probability — each round is independent and a previous result has no effect on the next.

Mobile OptimisedTable etiquette and session management
Following some basic etiquette at a live table makes the whole experience more enjoyable. Speak politely to the dealer in the chat box — on many platforms dealers can respond in Bengali. Make your decision within the designated betting time; once time runs out there is no opportunity to change your bet.
For session management, it is important to set both a "win limit" and a "loss limit". Say today's budget is ৳2,000 — set yourself the rule of ending the session if you win ৳500 or lose ৳800. This can be hard to stick to, but it is what keeps your mind steady over the long run.
Instead of playing for a long stretch in one go, take breaks from time to time. Rounds move fast at a live table — playing for hours on end reduces your ability to make good decisions. To stay in control of your experience, use the guidelines provided on cx crickex's responsible gaming page.
Avoid the urge to place larger bets after a loss to recover what you lost. Every round is independent, so there is no connection between the previous round and the next. Playing calmly according to your plan is the best approach.
