Andar Bahar

Like the wild card kind of?

Y- kind of, but anyway, I'm gonna take a page from Wizard of Odds because on his page, he says, "I'm just gonna refer to it as the middle card instead of the joker so there's no confusion." So this middle card is dealt face up And one side of the table is called Andar, and the other side of the table is called Bahar.

And the dealer just starts dealing out cards, one to each side, first to Andar, then Bahar, then back to Andar, then Bahar.
M

Just keeps dealing them out until a card of the same rank as the middle card comes up.

I don't want to go into it too much because I think it'll just confuse things.

Check out the Wizard of Odds page.

He has some information there.

So you have to make your decision before cards are dealt.

Seemed like there might be a lot of disputes, like, oh, I'm new to the game, I didn't know.
M
11:06Mark DuvalHOST
Yeah, I don't know.

But anyway, Wizard of Odds says 1.5% house edge if you bet on the dealer's hand, so that's pretty low if you want to call this a carnival game, a blackjack variant.

If you bet on the dealer's hand.
