Just like the game you played growing up, but with a casino twist.

How To Play Casino War

  1. The game is played with 6 decks. Cards are ranked as in poker, with Ace being the highest card and 2 being the lowest. The suit does not matter.
  2. After the players have made a wager each player and the dealer shall get one card.
  3. Each player’s card shall be compared with the dealer’s card. If the player’s card is higher, the player will win even money. If the dealer’s card is higher, the player loses.
  4. In the event of a tie the player shall have two choices: (1) Surrender and forfeit half the bet or (2) Go to war.
  5. If the player elects to go to war, the player will place a wager equal to their Initial Wager in the betting space labeled “War Wager”. The dealer will then burn three cards and give the player another card face up. The same procedure will occur for each player going to War. The dealer will also burn three cards prior to giving themselves another card face up. If the player’s second card beats the dealer then the player shall win even money on the War Wager only and the original wager shall push. If the dealer’s second card is greater, the player shall lose both bets. If the player’s war card and dealers war card are identical, the War Wager will pay 2 to 1.
  6. A tie bet is also available on the value of the first two cards being identical. The tie bet pays 10 to 1 if the first two cards tie.
