Casino War

This popular card game derives its roots from the popular children’s game - War. The game is simple to comprehend and also provides a relatively large house edge. The game requires six packs of...

fifty two deck cards with a similar ranking system to other poker games but aces are always high and the suit is inconsequential.

One card is dealt to each the dealer and the player, and if the players’ card is higher than the dealers he wins an amount equal to his bet and if it is lower he then loses the amount. In the event that the dealer and the player have a card of equal rank, the player has the option of either surrendering and losing half the bet or going to war and adding a bet equal to the original wager. The dealer then discards the first three cards and then deals one to each the player and himself.

If the players’ card is now greater than the dealers he wins an amount equal to only the original bet, and if it is lower he loses the original bet and the additional wager. Some casinos offer even money if the player wins the original wager and then offer a raise in the circumstance that a tie is followed by another tie. The tie bet can often fetch the player a 10 to 1 pay. While the original probability of winning is a 50%, in the event of a tie a player tends to stake double the amount to stand a chance of winning just half.
