Live Card Games
Simple rules, lightning-fast rounds, and real live dealers — Andar Bahar at nustargamecom brings one of South Asia's most beloved card games straight to Filipino players. Whether you're in Manila, Cebu, or Davao, the action never stops.
The Game
Andar Bahar — also known as Katti — is a traditional Indian card game that has taken the online casino world by storm. The name literally translates to "inside" and "outside," which perfectly describes the core mechanic: a single card is drawn face-up as the joker card, and players bet on which side — Andar (left) or Bahar (right) — will receive a matching card first.
What makes Andar Bahar so popular at nustargamecom is its sheer simplicity. There are no complicated hand rankings to memorize, no strategy charts to study, and no intimidating table etiquette. You pick a side, the dealer draws cards one by one, and the first side to land a card matching the joker wins. A full round can be over in under 30 seconds — making it one of the fastest-paced live casino games available today.
Filipino players have taken to Andar Bahar quickly, and it's easy to see why. The game shares the same instant-gratification energy as local favorites like jueteng-style number games and bingo — you know the result almost immediately, and the excitement of watching each card flip is genuinely thrilling. At nustargamecom, our live Andar Bahar tables are hosted by professional dealers streaming in real time, so you get the full casino atmosphere from the comfort of your phone or laptop.
The house edge on a standard Andar Bahar game sits at around 2.15% to 3%, which is competitive compared to many other live casino games. The Andar side has a very slight statistical edge since the first card is always dealt there, but both sides offer near-even odds — making every round feel genuinely balanced and fair.

Getting Started
New to Andar Bahar? No worries — you can learn the full game in about two minutes. Here's how a round works at nustargamecom.
The dealer draws one card face-up and places it in the center of the table. This is the joker card — the card that determines the winner of the round.
Before the dealing begins, you place your bet on either Andar (left side) or Bahar (right side). You can also place side bets on how many cards will be dealt before a match.
The dealer alternates dealing cards face-up to the Andar pile and the Bahar pile. Cards are dealt one at a time, building suspense with every flip.
The round ends the moment a card matching the joker's rank appears on either side. If it lands on your chosen side, you win!
Winning bets on Andar or Bahar pay close to even money (0.9:1 or 1:1 depending on the variant). Side bet payouts vary and can go much higher.
A fresh deck is shuffled and the next round starts almost immediately. At nustargamecom, you can play dozens of rounds per hour without any downtime.
