casino war
Casino War is without a doubt the easiest card game to play in the casino.
The game is played using eight decks of American playing cards. Cards are ranked according to their face value. Aces are always high. The suit does not matter.
After the Players have made a wager; each Player and the Dealer shall get one card. If the Player's card is higher; he wins even money. If the Dealer's card is higher; the player loses. In the event of a Tie, the Player shall have two options: Surrender and forfeit half his original wager; or go to War.
Once the Player opts to go to War, he must raise his bet by an amount equal to his original wager. Each Player and the Dealer shall then get their second cards, called War cards.
If the Player's War card outranks the Dealer's, the Player wins even money (1-to-1) on the War bet and pushes on the initial bet. If the Dealer's War card outranks the Player's, the Player loses both his initial and War bets. If the Player's and Dealer's War cards are of equal rank, the Player wins 2-to-1 on the War bet and pushes on the initial bet.
A Tie bet is also available, which pays 10-to-1.
