Casino War rules and instructions

A very simple game. Two cards are dealt both to the dealer and the player. The one having a higher card wins. (If you are already familiar with the rules you can skip the next chapter and read the instructions to the virtual play mode only).

Rules

The game is played with six decks . The winner is found according to the card rank: the lowest is the two, the ace is always high. The suit does not matter. The player’s card is compared with the dealer’s card. If the player's card is higher he gets his bet back, and gets even money. If the dealer's card is higher the player loses his bet.

War. In case of the same cards rank the player can either surrender, quit the game and lose half of his initial bet, or go to war doubling the bet.

The war starts with the dealer getting three cards face down (or "burning" as professionals say) – these cards are not used in the "battle". Then both the dealer and the player get one open card each.

The player has a better chance in the war – he will win in case if his card beats the dealer’s as well as if the cards equal again. The bets are returned to the player with the winning equal to the amount of the initial bet (for example, bet a dollar, raise the bet in the war to two, get back three).

The tie bet. Together with the main bet the player may wager any other sum of money (not exceeding the maximum bet) on the tie. If the dealer’s and the player’s cards equal after the first deal the tiebet wins 10 to 1 (bet one dollar, get back 11).
