Casino War is probably
the simplest of all casino games. The game is played with six
decks. Cards are ranked thus (lowest to highest): 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King, Ace.
- First, click on the
chips at the lower left of the screen to place a bet. To
remove chips from the bet, right click on the chips on the
table.
- Click the Deal
button.
- The dealer and the
player both draw a card. If your card is higher, you win even
money (1 to 1) on your bet and the round is over. If the
dealer’s card is higher, you lose your bet and the round is
over. Click New Game if you want to play again.
- If the cards are
equal, you can surrender and lose half you bet (click
Surrender) or go to war (click War).
War:
To go to war, you must
raise your bet by the amount equal to your original wager. The
dealer will then burn three cards and draw one card for each of
you. If your card beats or equals the dealer’s, you win even
money (1 to 1) on the raise; the original wager is returned to
you. If the dealer’s card is higher, you lose both the original
wager and the raise.
Tie Bet:
A tie bet is also
available. To place a tie bet, click on the tie bet area in the
middle of the screen. Click on a different chip to add a
different amount to the tie bet. Right-click on the tie bet area
to remove chips.
If your first card and
the dealer’s first cards are equal, you win 10 to 1 on your tie
bet.
