There is something about Andar Bahar that every Pakistani who has grown up playing card games with family instantly recognises — the simplicity, the anticipation, the pure joy of watching that matching card land on your chosen side. At when 786, we have taken this beloved South Asian classic and brought it to life online with live dealers, real PKR stakes and results in seconds.
Andar Bahar — sometimes called Katti — is one of the oldest and most widely played card games across the Indian subcontinent. The concept is beautifully simple: a single card is drawn face-up in the centre of the table (the joker card). You then bet on which side — Andar (inside/left) or Bahar (outside/right) — will receive a card of the same rank first. That is it. No complicated rules to memorise, no strategy charts to study. Just pick a side and feel the rush as cards are dealt one by one.
At when 786, Andar Bahar holds a special place in our game library precisely because it is a game that needs no translation for Pakistani players. Families in Karachi play it during Eid gatherings. Friends in Lahore play it on lazy Sunday afternoons. With when 786, you can experience that same familiar thrill whenever you want, with real dealers and real money on the line — all from your smartphone.
Our live Andar Bahar tables stream in HD from professional studios. The dealers are trained, friendly and pace the game at a rhythm that keeps things exciting without feeling rushed. Each round wraps up in around 30 seconds, which makes it ideal for players who want action without the slow build-up of games like poker or baccarat.
New to the game? Here is everything you need to know before you sit down at the table. It genuinely takes one round to fully understand.
The dealer draws a single card from the deck and places it face-up in the centre. This is the joker card — the card whose rank will decide the outcome of the round.
You now choose which side you think will receive a matching card first. Andar is the left pile, Bahar is the right pile. Place your bet in PKR before the timer runs out.
Cards are dealt one at a time, alternating between the Andar and Bahar piles. If the joker card is black, dealing starts on the Andar side. If it is red, dealing starts on Bahar.
The moment a card of the same rank as the joker lands on either pile, the round is over. If it lands on your chosen side, you win. Simple as that.
Winning bets are settled immediately. PKR winnings are credited to your when 786 account balance in real time, ready to withdraw or play on.
