Aim of Game
The player and the
dealer get one card each, the aim is to draw a higher card
than the dealer.
How to Play
This is played in
a casino with cards usually being drawn form a six-deck
shoe. The player elects an amount to wager, which is then
matched by the dealer. The player has also the option of a
10:1 side bet that the two initial cards will tie. The
player and dealer each get one card. If the player's card
is better than the dealer's card, then the player wins
even money. If the dealer's card is better than the
player's card, the player loses.
If both cards are
of equal value, then the player may either lose half his
bet (surrender) or elect to go to 'war' against the
dealer. If the player decides to go to war then they must
make another bet equal to their initial wager to exercise
the war option. The dealer also matches the player's
initial wager and places it next to the player's wager.
The dealer then burns, face down the next three (3) cards
and deals the next card to the player, then burns three
(3) more cards face down and then deals the following card
to himself. If the player's card has a higher rank than
the dealer's card then the player wins the "War". If the
player's card has a lower rank than the dealer's card then
the player loses. Either way, the winner of the war
collects all the money in front of that player and the
dealer starts a new game. If the dealer and the player
cards are of equal rank after the player has exercised
his/her option to go to war, the player automatically wins
the war and is paid a bonus equal to their original war
wager.
Odds of
Winning
The game appears
so simple and fair you may be asking yourself what's in it
for the casinos Surprisingly, the answer is not a lot.
There is no house advantage until a tie occurs; the player
and dealer are each as likely to win the bet. Once a
player has gone to "war" on ties there is a minimal house
advantage. However the house advantage is greater if a
player surrenders on a tie, or bets beforehand that there
will be a tie.
House advantage
-
Go to war on
ties: 2.88%
-
Surrender on
ties: 3.7%
-
Bet on ties:
18.65%
Basic Strategy
Apart from not
betting on ties or not surrendering when a tie occurs
there is very little strategy that can be employed in
casino war. Card counting is not really an advantage as
the players aim is simply to beat the dealer, not to make
the dealer go bust. Overall casino war is fun game and if
you want to play something simple with a lower house edge
than games such as slots, casino war would definitely be
worth a try. Have Fun!
