Andar Bahar is played with a single standard 52-card deck. No joker from the deck — the "joker" in Andar Bahar is simply the first card drawn by the dealer.
Each suit has 13 cards: A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K. Since there are four cards of each rank in the deck, the probability of the match appearing on either side is roughly equal — which is why Andar Bahar feels fair to players.
Different tables for different players — from first-timers to high-stakes regulars, cric ex has the right seat for you.

Andar Bahar has been played in homes, at festivals and in card rooms across the Indian subcontinent for generations. It doesn't need much introduction to most Pakistani players — the concept of a joker card and two sides is as intuitive as it gets. What cric ex has done is take that familiar, comfortable game and put it in front of you on your phone, with a real dealer, real stakes in PKR, and payouts that come within minutes of winning.
Part of what makes Andar Bahar appealing — and what makes it fit well on a platform like cric ex — is how low the barrier to entry is. You don't need to study a strategy guide. You don't need to remember card combinations or calculate odds in your head. The joker is revealed, you pick a side, and you watch the cards fall. The whole round is over in under 30 seconds on the turbo tables. It's the kind of game you can play between PSL overs or during a commercial break.
On cric ex, the Andar Bahar experience is built around live dealer streams. There's a real person dealing the cards, talking through each round and providing the kind of atmosphere that a purely computer-generated game can't replicate. The video quality is high and the stream performs well on mobile data connections, which matters a lot for players across Pakistan where fibre connections aren't universal.
The side bets on cric ex's Andar Bahar tables add an extra layer for players who want more than a straight Andar/Bahar wager. Betting on the suit of the joker card, predicting a first-card match, or wagering on the colour of the joker — these side markets pay significantly higher than the main bet and are perfect for mixing in occasionally to keep a session interesting. That said, they carry higher house edges by nature, so cric ex recommends treating them as entertainment within your session rather than a core strategy.
The payment experience on cric ex for Andar Bahar is as straightforward as the game itself. Deposit using Easypaisa, JazzCash, NayaPay, SadaPay, bank transfer or card — minimum Rs 200 to get started. Your cric ex wallet updates in seconds and you can start playing within minutes of signing up.
