Andar bahar: how one round is dealt
The andar bahar sequence old PHLOVE articles described, without a signup step.
Andar bahar showed up on the PHLOVE blog as a how-to-play post. The round is short. The thing to learn is which side you are backing, and what a match means.
The deal
- A single card is placed in the middle. That card is the rank you are waiting to see again.
- Further cards are dealt to two sides, commonly andar and bahar, one side then the other.
- The round ends when a card of the same rank as the middle card appears. The side that received it wins that main bet.
Suits usually do not matter. A king matches a king. Side bets on exact counts or on the first card are priced separately. Read them as optional, with their own house edge, not as part of the main result.
What “how to play” pages skipped
They jumped from the third step to a register link. You can understand the round without an account on this website. Table limits, the order of the first card, and whether the house takes a cut on one side all live in the rules of the table you open later.
