Game Rules

Casino War

Game objective:

In Casino War, the objective is to hold a higher card than the dealer. If both cards are the same rank, then you have the option to ‘Go to War’ with the dealer: Two more are dealt, with the highest card winning. You also have the option of betting that the first two cards will be the same.

Game details:

• The game is played with six standard decks of 52 cards each, with no jokers.
• The deck is shuffled at the start of every game.
• The cards are ranked as in poker, with a King out-ranking a Queen. Aces are always high.
• The game can also be played without making a ‘Tie’ bet, but a player cannot make a ‘Tie’ bet alone.
• The game and the game rules are identical for real money and play money modes.
• All suits of cards (hearts, spades, clubs, and diamonds) are of equal ranking.

How to play:

• Click on the ‘BET’ box to place a chip on the table. To place more chips, continue to click on the box.
• To remove a chip, simply right-click on the ‘BET’ box.
• To place a bet on a tie, click on the ‘TIE’ bet box.
• To remove a bet on a tie, right-click on the ‘TIE’ bet box.
• After you have placed your bets, the ‘DEAL’ button will become active. Click on this button for the cards to be dealt.
• The game will not begin until a valid bet has been placed in the ‘BET’ box.
• Two cards are dealt face up, one for the dealer and one for the player.
• If the player’s card is a higher rank than the dealer’s, then the player wins and is paid at odds of 1:1 (see the paytable below for more details).
• If the dealer’s card is of a higher rank than the player’s card, the dealer wins and the player loses their bets.
• If both cards are of the same rank, the player has one of two options: ‘Surrender’ or ‘Go to War’.
  • If the player opts to ‘Surrender’, they lose half their original bet, and the game finishes.
  • If the player selects to ‘Go to War’, a bet equal to the value of their original will automatically be placed in the ‘BET’ box.
  • Three cards are then ‘burnt’ (dealt face down).
  • Two further cards are dealt face-up, one for the player and one for dealer.
  • If the player’s card is higher than or of the same rank as the dealer’s card, then the player will win at odds of 1:1 on their original bet. Their second bet is returned.
  • If the player’s card is lower than the dealer’s card, the player will lose both bets.
• If the player has bet on a tie and the original two cards dealt are of the same rank, the player will win at odds of 10:1.
