繁體中文Casino War Rules Explained
Casino War is the simplest casino card game: one card each, higher card wins. This guide explains it. Payouts are shown in the game.
- You and the dealer each get one card, and the higher card wins.
- You choose to surrender (losing half your bet) or go to war by adding a bet for another card each, with the second comparison deciding the result.
- Very little.
The objective
You and the dealer each get one card. The higher card wins. That is the whole game, which makes it the easiest table game to learn.
Going to war
If the cards tie, you choose to surrender (losing half your bet) or 'go to war' by placing an additional bet.
Card ranking
Cards rank by value only, suits do not matter. An optional tie side bet pays if the first cards match, but it is a higher-risk bet.
A pure game of chance
There are no real decisions beyond the tie, so Casino War is pure luck. Set a budget and use responsible gambling tools. See the table games guide.
