About the Adar Bahar Online Casino Game
One game that has smashed the ‘traditional’ glass ceiling is Andar Bahar. It is quick, it is exciting and there are multiple side bets to send the heart rate into overdrive. In our world – that is Springbok Casino, of course – Andar Bahar is Hindi for ‘inside’ and ‘outside’.
What has inside and outside got to do with a casino card game? That is a reference to the boxes we mentioned in the intro. Andar is the box on the left, Bahar is the box on the right and slap bang in the middle is the joker.
It is not a standard joker folks. Nor is it a wild card. Nope, the joker in Andar Bahar is the first card dealt – and to the middle box on the layout, nogal!
It is the card that has to be matched in rank. Your job is to bet on the box you think will be dealt the card that matches the joker. Is it Andar or Bahar?
Confused? Well, don’t be because once the joker has been dealt, the Springbok Casino software deals the cards one by one to each box until there is a match. When that happens the round ends and the winning bets are paid out.
Left or Right? Andar or Bahar? What the Stats Say
Which box is the better bet? Is it Andar, the box on the left or Bahar, the box on the right? As with all online casino games, the odds are the clue.
At Springbok Casino we offer even money for a winning Andar bet and odds of 0.9 to 1 for a successful Bahar bet. Why the difference in payouts? According to the number crunchers, the Bahar bet has 51.50% chance of winning against the 48.49% of the Andar bet.
If you base your betting strategy on the stats, the better bet is the Bahar bet, albeit fractionally better. Another factor that is traditionally used to determine where to place your chips is the deal. According to conventional wisdom, whichever box gets the first card after the joker is dealt, is the box to bet on.
In the Springbok Casino version of Andar Bahar, the deal always starts on the right side or on the ‘outside’ of the joker. That folks is the Bahar box and it is a tactic that is backed by the stats!
The Side Bet Action
Now to the side bets, the bets that really can ramp up the action. In this online casino game, there are three side bets altogether. Two of the bets relate to the joker and the third is a bet on the total number of cards dealt to achieve the match.
What are the optional side bets in Andar Bahar. You can bet on the colour and/or suit of the joker. The usual options apply – red or black and/or hearts, diamonds, clubs or spades.
The odds for the colour bet and suit bet are 0.9 to 1 and 2.8 to 1, respectively. Where things really get interesting is in the ‘numbers’ bet – or more accurately, the group of numbers (cards) the match will fall into.
Bet on Sets of Numbers for Rollicking Returns
In this particular side bet, there are eight possible options. If the match occurs in 1 to 5 cards, you are paid out at 2.5 to 1 odds. If it takes 6 to 10 cards to reach an outcome, you get 3.5 to 1. A total of 11 to 15 cards generates winnings of 4.5 to 1 and so on.
The higher the number of cards you bet on, the richer the odds. The most you can win on the numbers bet in Adar Bahar is 119 to 1. That is for a winning bet on 41 to 49 cards being dealt before there is a match. As the game is played with a standard 52 deck of cards, the reasons for the escalating odds are obvious.
Optional Betting at its Most Flexible
What is notable about the side bets in Andar Bahar is their flexibility. You can take one, two or all three side bets or none at all. Even if you don’t win the main bet, there is always a chance of winning one or more of the side bets.
The trick is to play at the lowest available stake. At Springbok Casino that is represented by a R2 chip. At that price, playing the main bet and all the side bets costs just R8.
How a Total Stake of R8 Can Deliver R247.20 in Profit!
Had you bet on the Bahar box, along with a winning colour and suit, the total return would be R15.20. That is R7.20 in clear profit. Add a winning numbers bet on the 16 to 25 set of cards, for example, and the profit jumps by R7 to R14.20.
That is a 77.5% return on your investment. Had you bet on the match being achieved within the 41 to 49 card set instead the total gain would skyrocket by R240 to R247.20. That, folks, is a percentage increase of 2,990%! Not bad for a few hours of fun at Springbok Casino.
Springbok Casino Disclaimer
That is what can happen. It is not necessarily what is going to happen, so do not go overboard. Rather start slowly and familiarise yourself with the bet types and gameplay.
If you are lucky and gain a profit, that is the time to become more creative. When you have money to spare, there is more leeway to try out a betting system like the Martingale or Reverse Martingale. That may be well worth a try.
