Casino War
|
Casino War
is one of the easiest card games to play at an online casino. If
you have ever played war as a child, or simply made a bet on who
could draw the highest card, then war will seem instantly
familiar. Casino War is one of my favourite money making games
online. Following are the specific rules.
The
Casino War
game is played with six decks.
Casino War
Cards are ranked as in poker, except aces are always high. The
suit of Casino War does not matter. After the players have made
a wager each player and the dealer shall get one card. Each
player's card shall be compared with the dealer's card. If the
player's card is higher he wins the collected money. If the
other way is correct dealer's card is higher the player loses.
In the event of a tie the
Casino War
player shall have two choices:
[1] Surrender and forfeit half the bet or
[2] Go to war. If the player elects to go to war he or she must
raise his bet by an amount equal to his original wager.
This means the wager is doubled. The dealer will do the same but
this is just for show. The dealer will then burn three cards and
give the player and dealer another card each. If the player's
second card equals or beats the dealer then the player shall win
even money on the raise only and the original wager shall push.
If the dealer's second card is greater the player shall lose
both bets and therefore forfeit the amounts wagered.
At some Land based casinos, a tie after a tie will result in a
bonus equal to the original wager.
A
Casino War
tie bet is also available, which pays 10 to 1 if the first two
cards tie.
I'm often asked where the house edge lays in this game. It is
absolutely true that the probability of winning is 50%. Where
the edge comes from is when there is a war you either win one
unit or lose two. For example, if you originally bet R5 you have
to double your bet, risking R10, to win only R5.This is where
the "house edge" comes into play on
Casino War
particularly online. This tie and offer to go to war makes the
player susceptible to house edge.
Bonus Rules
At some casinos, the Mirage and Casino Niagara to name two, the
player will win even money on original wager and raise in the
event of a tie after a tie.
House Edge
Some Internet casinos use unusual number of decks this then
introduces the notion of house edge into the equation. |
