feeder Andar Bahar — Experience the Classic Indian Card Game at the Live Table
Andar Bahar is a simple yet fast-paced card game that is growing in popularity among players in Bangladesh. Play it at feeder's live tables with a real dealer.
Andar Bahar: Origin and Background
Andar Bahar is a traditional card game from South India. Its name comes from Urdu words — "Andar" means inside and "Bahar" means outside. The game was played in homes across South Asia with a standard deck of cards. Now that online play with a live dealer is available, players in Bangladesh can enjoy it too.
Andar Bahar tables are available on feeder's Ezugi Live platform — where a professional dealer runs the entire session and every step of the game is shown on screen in real time.
The biggest advantage of this game is that the rules are easy to follow. Just two sides — Andar and Bahar — and one trump card. There is no complex hand ranking or multi-step strategy like in other card games.
Rules of a Round
The game starts with a standard 52-card deck. The dealer first draws one card from the middle of the deck — this is the "Joker" or trump card, and its value and suit determine the outcome of the round.
Two slots are then created on the table: the left side is Andar, the right side is Bahar. The dealer deals cards alternately — first one to Andar, then one to Bahar. The side that receives a card matching the trump card's value first wins, and bettors on that side are paid out.
In most variants the first card is dealt to the Andar side, so many experienced players choose their side based on the trump card's color before the game begins. If the trump is a red card, Andar is considered to have a slightly higher chance of winning — but this is a statistical observation only, not a guaranteed outcome.
Many tables also offer side bets — for example, wagering on how many cards will be dealt before the match occurs. Getting too involved in side bets without staying focused on the main bet can drain your bankroll quickly, so new players are better off avoiding them.
The trump card is placed in the middle of the table — every subsequent deal is based on this one card.
Scoring and Payout Structure
Andar Bahar has no hand ranking like poker or Teen Patti. Winning or losing depends entirely on which side receives the matching card first.
Win on Andar
If a card matching the trump card's value lands on the Andar side first, the Andar bettor wins. The payout is typically 1:0.9 or 1:1.
Main BetWin on Bahar
If the matching card lands on the Bahar side first, the Bahar bettor wins. In some variants this bet pays out slightly more.
Main BetSide Bet
Side bets are available on which card number the match will occur on. These offer higher payouts but the house edge is comparatively higher as well.
Optional BetAgainst the Dealer or Against Other Players?
Andar Bahar is played directly against the dealer — there is no competition with other players at the table. The dealer deals the cards and players individually choose a side, Andar or Bahar, to bet on.
Multiple players can join the same live table at the same time. Each player independently places their bet on Andar or Bahar — even if multiple players bet on the same side, the dealer's dealing does not change.
This makes the game primarily dependent on chance — psychology or bluffing, as in poker or other player-versus-player games, plays no role here. That is why new players can get comfortable with the game quickly.
feeder's feeder Casino live section has multiple Andar Bahar tables where you can bet at various limits.
Useful Tips for New Players
-
Start with small bets. Avoid large bets before you understand the pace of the game. Watch a few rounds first — then find your own rhythm.
-
Set your bankroll limit in advance. Decide how much you are willing to spend in each session before you start. When you reach that limit, take a break.
-
Do not rush into side bets. Focus on the main Andar-Bahar bet. Side bets are more exciting but the risk is also higher.
-
Pay attention to the trump card's color. Some players choose their side by analyzing the trump card's color. It is not a guaranteed strategy, but it may help identify a pattern over a long session.
-
It is better not to bet repeatedly on the same side. Each round of the game is independent — a previous result does not determine the next one.
-
Play responsibly. The main purpose of playing is entertainment. For more details, read the Responsible Gaming page.
Keep in Mind
Andar Bahar is a simple game, but its fast pace means your bankroll can run out quickly. Each round is independent of the last — so the idea of a consistent winning streak is a misconception.

Table Etiquette and Session Management
At a live table, knowing the rules alone is not enough — your conduct also affects the game experience. Following the steps below will keep every session smooth and enjoyable.
-
Place your bets on time. Bets cannot be placed after the betting window closes — keep an eye on the countdown.
-
Be polite in chat. Treat other players and the dealer with courtesy in the live chat.
-
Set a time limit for each session. Playing for hours on end reduces your ability to make good decisions.
