Joker Card — K♠
Which side will match the Joker first?
Andar Bahar — sometimes called Katti in certain regions — is a traditional card game that originated in South India but spread rapidly across the whole subcontinent. In Pakistan, it's been a fixture at home gatherings and informal card circles for decades. The digital version at Salute PK preserves the exact feel of the game while adding live streaming, professional dealers, and instant PKR payouts.
The setup is minimal: a dealer draws one card face-up — this is called the Joker card. Players then bet on whether the next matching card (same rank, any suit) will appear on the Andar (inside/left) pile or the Bahar (outside/right) pile. Cards are dealt alternately to each side until a match is found. That's the entire game. No complicated rules, no multi-stage hand comparisons. Pure instinct and probability.
A single round takes 30–90 seconds. More action per hour than almost any other live game available.

Main bets are simple. Side bets add spice. Here's the full breakdown at Salute PK.
| Bet Type | Description | Payout | Availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Andar | Match appears on the inside (left) pile | 0.9:1 | All tables |
| Bahar | Match appears on the outside (right) pile | 1:1 | All tables |
| Match in 1st Card | Joker's match appears in the very first card dealt | 11:1 | Deluxe & VIP |
| Match in 2–5 Cards | Match found within the first five cards | 4:1 | Deluxe & VIP |
| Match in 6–10 Cards | Match found between the 6th and 10th card | 3:1 | Deluxe & VIP |
| Match in 11–15 Cards | Match found between 11th and 15th card dealt | 2:1 | Deluxe & VIP |
| Joker Suit (Hearts/Diamonds) | Predict whether the Joker card will be a red suit | 1:1 | Deluxe & VIP |
| Joker Colour (Black) | Predict the Joker card will be Spades or Clubs | 1:1 | Deluxe & VIP |
Payout ratios may vary slightly by table. Andar bets return 0.9:1 because Andar is statistically dealt first — a small house edge balancer.

Common questions from Pakistani players before they join a live table.
There's a reason Andar Bahar has survived for generations without any formal marketing, without TV commercials or influencer promotions. It spread the old-fashioned way — family to family, street to street, city to city — because the game itself is just genuinely good. The rules fit in one sentence. The tension of watching cards flip, waiting for that matching rank to appear, is the same whether you're playing in a drawing room in Lahore or on your phone during a commute in Karachi. At Salute PK, we've tried hard to preserve that exact feeling in the digital format.
What makes a great Andar Bahar experience? The dealing pace matters — too slow and the game loses its energy, too fast and you can't enjoy the suspense. The card display needs to be clean and readable, especially on a mobile screen where real estate is limited. And the betting interface has to be fast enough that you can comfortably place your bet within the time window without fumbling. Salute PK has spent significant effort optimising all three of these elements specifically for Pakistani devices and network conditions.
Andar Bahar has a near 50/50 split between its two main outcomes, which makes it one of the most balanced casino games available. The slight asymmetry — Andar having a marginally higher probability — is why the payout rates differ slightly between the two sides. If you place an Andar bet and win, you get back 90% of your bet as profit. If you bet Bahar and win, you get 100%.
Over thousands of rounds, this means the house holds a statistical edge of roughly 2.15% to 3% depending on the variant. To put that in perspective, European Roulette has a house edge of 2.7%, and American Roulette is 5.26%. Andar Bahar sits comfortably within the range of player-friendly games when you stick to the main bets. The side bets offer much higher payouts but come with a steeper house edge — they're the spice, not the staple.
Because rounds are so fast — sometimes under 30 seconds in Turbo mode — your bankroll can move quickly in either direction. A player who deposits Rs 1,000 and bets Rs 500 per round could find themselves finished in a handful of spins if luck goes against them early. The flip side is equally true — a few consecutive wins can double that balance just as fast.
The standard advice that applies to all fast-paced games is to scale your bet size to your bankroll rather than the maximum table limit. A general rule of thumb is keeping each bet under 5% of your total session budget. So if you're playing with Rs 2,000 for the evening, a Rs 100 bet per round gives you at least 20 rounds of play even if none of them come in — plenty of time for variance to work in your favour.
Salute PK makes this easier by letting you set session loss limits directly in your account settings. Once you've reached your preset limit, the system will stop you from placing further bets until the limit resets. It's a simple feature, but genuinely useful for maintaining discipline during a losing streak when emotions can cloud judgement.
Both formats are available at Salute PK and both are fully legitimate — the difference is mostly about the experience you're looking for. RNG (Random Number Generator) Andar Bahar uses software to simulate the card draw. Results are certified by independent auditors, rounds happen instantly without waiting for a dealer, and the demo mode is available for free practice. It's efficient and consistent.
Live dealer Andar Bahar, on the other hand, uses a real physical deck of cards handled by a trained dealer in a professional studio. The stream is broadcast in real time to your device. You can see every card, watch every shuffle, and follow the whole process transparently. For players who want absolute confidence that they're watching a genuinely random outcome — not trusting an algorithm — live tables are the clear choice. The trade-off is that rounds are slightly slower and there's no demo mode.
The majority of experienced players at Salute PK gravitate toward live tables once they're comfortable with the game mechanics. The social element — watching the dealer's hands, seeing the results in real time — adds a layer of authenticity that RNG games can't fully replicate.
Playing Andar Bahar or any other game at Salute PK involves sharing some personal and financial information to operate your account.

The online gaming market targeting Pakistan is crowded, but most of the operators in it aren't actually thinking about Pakistani players — they're just making their European or Southeast Asian platform technically accessible here. The payment methods are inconvenient, customer support doesn't speak Urdu, and the minimum bets are sized for markets with higher average incomes.
Salute PK is different because the entire product was designed around Pakistani realities. Easypaisa and JazzCash are first-class payment options — not afterthoughts. The minimum bet for Andar Bahar starts at Rs 100 because that's an accessible amount for a Pakistani player, not because it's a compliance checkbox. The mobile interface has been tested on Pakistani 4G networks specifically, because that's what most of our players are using.
And when something goes wrong — a deposit that doesn't clear, a payout question, a technical issue during a live round — the support team at Salute PK is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and they speak your language. That combination of local payment infrastructure, accessible bet sizes, and genuine customer support is what makes Salute PK the first choice for Andar Bahar players across Pakistan.
Andar Bahar is fun. It's fast. It can be genuinely rewarding. But like any form of gambling, it carries risk and should always be treated as entertainment rather than a reliable income source. If you ever feel that gambling is affecting your mood, your relationships or your finances negatively, please reach out. Our Responsible Gaming page has practical tools — deposit limits, cooling-off periods, and full self-exclusion — all of which you can activate yourself from your account dashboard at any time.
Salute PK is committed to providing a safe, fair and enjoyable environment for every player. We want you to come back because you enjoyed yourself — not because you're chasing a loss. Play smart, set your limits, and let the cards fall where they may.
