How to Play Casino War
First, you place your bet. Next, the dealer will deal one card to you and one card to himself. If the dealer’s card is higher, you lose your bet. If your card is higher than the dealer’s card, you win 1:1 on your bet and that is the end of that round. If your card is equal to the dealer’s card, you can surrender and lose half of your bet or you can begin the war by doubling your bet. At this point, the dealer will discard three cards off the top of the deck, then deal one card to you and one card to himself. If your card is higher, you win the amount of your original bet only. If the dealer’s card is higher, you lose your doubled wager. If there is a tie, you win the amount of your doubled bet.

If you go to War, the house’s edge is 2.9%.
