How to play

Joker drawnThe dealer turns one card face up.
BetChoose Andar or Bahar, plus any side bet.
DealCards go alternately to each pile.
MatchThe first card of the joker’s rank decides the winning side.

Payouts and side bets

The main bet pays close to even money. The side that receives the first card has a slight edge, so it often pays 0.9 to 1 while the other side pays 1 to 1. Side bets let you predict how many cards will be dealt before the match, in ranges such as 1–5 or 6–10, at bigger odds. Exact payouts vary between versions, so read the table’s help panel.
