Casino War

Casino War is a low limit table game allowing everyone the chance to enjoy an exciting version of probably the first card game we all learned to play.

General Rules:

1. All cards, except “burn” cards, are dealt face up.
2. Players must make an initial wager.
3. Bets on War can only be made by the player who received the tie.
4. The War wager cannot exceed the initial wager.
5. Casino War minimum and maximum wagers will be determined by the “House.”
6. Casino rules apply for a player playing multiple hands.
7. The rank of cards is as follows: Ace (high), King, Queen, Jack, etc. The “face” cards are not value cards, they are valued according to poker ranks.

Rules of Play:

1. At the start of each new game, each player must make an initial wager.
2. Each player has the option of making a tie wager.
3. The “TIE” wager must be made prior to the cards being dealt per round. If this wager is made and the cards match in rank, then the player is paid 10 to 1 when the dealer gets to that player’s hand.
4. Each player and the dealer receive one (1) card, face up.
5. The dealer, in turn, compares the rank of each player’s card with the rank of the dealer’s card.
   a) If the player’s card has a higher rank than the dealer’s card, the player wins even money.
   b) If the player’s card has a lower rank than the dealer’s card, the player loses.
   c) If the player’s card is of equal rank to the dealer’s card, the player has 2 options:
      i. Surrender half of his/her wager.
      ii. Go to War.
          a) If the player chooses to go to war with the dealer, the player and the dealer make another wager equal to the original wager. The dealer “burns” one (1) card, deals the next to the player and deals the next to themselves. The dealer then compares the rank of the cards.
          b) If the player card outranks the dealer card, the player wins all the money wagered.
          c) If the dealer card outranks the player card, the player loses.
          d) If the dealer and player cards are of equal rank, the player wins and is paid a bonus equal to their ORIGINAL WAGER.
          e) If more than one player is at War with the dealer, the dealer “burns” one card, deals each player a card, and deals a final card to themselves.
6. After all wagers are settled, the dealer starts a new game.
