How to Play Andar Bahar at 788go: Rules Explained

Andar Bahar is one of the easiest casino games to learn. Here's a complete breakdown of the rules so you can jump in with confidence.

1

The Joker Card is Drawn

The dealer draws a single card from a standard 52-card deck and places it face-up in the center of the table. This is called the Joker card (not to be confused with an actual Joker—it's simply the reference card for the round). The goal of the game is to predict which side will match the Joker's rank first.

2

Place Your Bet: Andar or Bahar

Before any additional cards are dealt, you must choose your side. Andar (left side) or Bahar (right side). Some 788go tables also offer side bets on the total number of cards dealt before a match, but the main bet is always Andar vs Bahar. Minimum bets at 788go start as low as ₱50, making it accessible for all budgets.

3

Cards are Dealt Alternately

The dealer begins dealing cards one at a time, alternating between Andar and Bahar. The first card always goes to Andar (this is standard in most variants). Cards continue to be placed on each side until one matches the Joker's rank. For example, if the Joker is a 7 of Hearts, the dealer keeps dealing until a 7 of any suit appears on either side.

4

The Winning Side is Revealed

As soon as a card matching the Joker's rank appears, the round ends immediately. If it lands on Andar, all Andar bets win. If it lands on Bahar, all Bahar bets win. Payouts are typically 1:1 (even money), though some tables at 788go offer slightly higher odds for Bahar due to the first-card advantage Andar receives. Winnings are credited to your balance instantly.

5

New Round Begins

Once the round concludes, bets are settled and a new Joker card is drawn for the next round. You can place a new bet immediately—there's no waiting. This is why Andar Bahar is so fast-paced. Experienced players at 788go can complete 40-60 rounds per hour, making it perfect for action-oriented Filipino gamblers who love rapid results.

Pro Tips for Andar Bahar Players
  • No strategy changes the odds — Andar Bahar is pure chance. Don't fall for "pattern prediction" scams. Every round is independent.
  • Manage your bankroll — Set a budget before you start. Because rounds are so fast, it's easy to bet more than intended. Discipline is key.
  • Try side bets cautiously — Side bets on card count or suit matches offer higher payouts but carry much higher house edge. Stick to main bets for better odds.
  • Take advantage of bonuses — 788go frequently offers cashback and reload bonuses for live casino players. Use them to extend your playtime.
