One of the oldest and most-loved card games across the subcontinent is now fully live at cm999. Bet on Andar or Bahar, choose your side, and watch a real dealer draw until the matching card appears. Simple, fast, and deeply familiar to Pakistani players.
Andar Bahar — also known as Katti in some parts of the subcontinent — is one of the simplest and most entertaining card games you'll find. It doesn't require any strategy, learning a hand ranking system or remembering complex rules. You pick a side, you watch, and you find out if you were right.
The game starts with a single card being placed face-up in the centre — this is called the trump card or joker card. The dealer then draws cards one by one, alternating between the Andar (inside/left) pile and the Bahar (outside/right) pile. Your job as a player is simply to bet on which side you think the matching card — a card of the same rank as the trump card — will appear on first.
That's the entire game. No poker hands, no blackjack strategy charts, no complicated side rules to memorise. The elegance of Andar Bahar is in its simplicity, and that's precisely why it has been played at family gatherings, festivals and casual evenings across Pakistan and the broader subcontinent for generations.
Beyond the basic Andar or Bahar choice, cm999's live tables offer a full menu of side bets for players who want more from each round.
Bet that the matching card will land on the Andar side first. The most popular bet at the table. Pays 0.95:1 when the trump card is initially placed on the Andar side.
Bet that the matching card appears on the Bahar side first. Pays 0.95:1. Statistically, Bahar has a very slightly lower probability of winning on the first deal, giving it an almost identical house edge to Andar.
Predict the suit of the trump card before it is revealed. Hearts, Spades, Clubs or Diamonds — each pays 3:1 for a correct suit prediction. Some tables offer enhanced suit bets up to 25x on specific combinations.
Bet on how many cards will be drawn before the match appears. Options include 1 card (11:1), 2–5 cards (3:1), 6–10 cards (2:1) and 11+ cards (1:1). A high-variance side bet loved by cm999 regulars.

Andar Bahar has always been a social game. It's the kind of thing you play at Eid gatherings, sitting on a chaarpai with cousins, with everyone calling out their picks and arguing about which side is "due." Online Andar Bahar on cm999 captures a surprising amount of that energy — the live chat, the real dealer, the other players' bets visible on screen — in a way that pre-recorded or RNG versions of the game simply can't replicate.
The live tables at cm999 use professional dealers trained specifically for South Asian card games. This matters more than it sounds. A dealer who understands the rhythm of Andar Bahar — who narrates naturally, draws at the right pace, and maintains the tension of each round — creates a completely different experience from a generic live casino dealer reading off a script in a language they don't feel at home in. cm999 has invested in this quality because its player base demands it.
The minimum bet on cm999's Andar Bahar tables is Rs 100. For context, that means you can play 20 full rounds on a Rs 2,000 budget — and even if most rounds don't go your way, the entertainment value per rupee is genuinely high. The game moves quickly, each round resolves in about 30 seconds on average, and there's never a dull moment while cards are being drawn.
Side bets are where the real excitement comes for players who want more from each round. The suit prediction bet, the first-card-match bet and the number-of-draws bet all add layers of decision-making to what would otherwise be a binary choice. You don't have to use them — the main Andar/Bahar bet is perfectly enjoyable on its own — but when you've got Rs 100 on Andar and Rs 200 on "match within 2–5 cards," every single draw the dealer makes has you leaning forward slightly further.
One thing cm999 gets right that many online casinos miss is the Urdu-friendly interface options. The game labels, bet descriptions and even the dealer narration can be followed comfortably by players whose primary language isn't English. This is a small touch that makes a real difference to how at-home Pakistani players feel on the platform — it signals that cm999 was built with Pakistani users specifically in mind, rather than being a generic international platform that happens to accept PKR deposits.
The mathematics of Andar Bahar are worth briefly discussing because there's a common misconception that the game is 50/50. Technically, it isn't quite — the Andar side has a marginally higher probability of winning when the trump card is first placed on Andar's side (because Andar is always dealt to first). This gives Bahar a very slight disadvantage on those rounds. Over thousands of rounds the difference is minimal, but it explains why both sides pay 0.95:1 rather than 1:1 — the house takes its edge across all bets regardless of which side wins, through the slight underpayment on winning bets rather than through an asymmetric win rate.
cm999 uses certified RNG shuffling for all live Andar Bahar rounds, combined with physical card handling by live dealers. The deck is shuffled before each new shoe and the shuffle verification is logged. Players who want to verify the fairness of any specific round can do so through the round history tool available in their cm999 account. This transparency builds the kind of trust that keeps players coming back — not because they're forced to, but because they genuinely feel confident that the game is being run properly.
