Casino War


My first time to play Casino War last night and it has to be the easiest and mindless table game I have ever played in casinos which requires no brain work, hence I thought it would not be a bad way to end my hectic work schedule. The game work’s as follows:
  • One card is dealt to each player on the table and one to the dealer

  • If your card is a higher value than the Dealer’s, you Win!

  • If your card is the same value as the Dealer’s, you get the chance to ‘Go to War’ and try to beat the Dealer with a second card

OK I heard you ask - so where does the house edge lays in this game?

You are right, 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.

In my case last night, I held up wars several times and 1 grand vanished in just a few minutes. Eventually, it was a bad decision to end the day feeling miserable like that.
