Casino War

HIGH CARD WINS-At the start of each new game or round, each player must make an initial wager. Each player has the option of making a tie wager. Each player and the dealer receive One (1) card, “Face Up.”

The dealer, in turn, compares the rank of each player’s card with the rank of the dealer’s card. If the player’s card has a higher rank than the dealer’s card, the player wins even money. If the player’s card has a lower rank than the dealer’s card, the player loses. If the player’s card is of equal rank to the dealer’s card, the player has two (2) options: a) surrender half of his/her initial wager or b) go to war with the dealer.

If the player selects to go to war with the dealer, the player and the dealer make another wager equal to the initial wager. The dealer bridges his/her portion of the matching bet on top of the player’s bets.

The dealer will “burn” or buries three (3) cards face down and deals the next card to the player. The dealer will “burn” three (3) cards and deals the next card to himself. The dealer will compare the rank of the hand to determine the winner. If the player card outranks the dealer card, the player wins all the war money. If the dealer card outranks the player card, the player loses.

In war situations, the player wins ties and an additional payout is made equal to the original wager.

NOTE: In situations of multiple war bets on a single “round,” the dealer will only receive one (1) hand. All wagers must be settled prior to starting a new round.
