How to Play Casino War

If War is chosen, the player will need to double their original bet. Meaning if the original bet was $10, it’ll need to be increased by an additional $10, for a total of $20.

The dealer will then discard the next three cards in the deck and pull the fourth one as the player card before discarding three more cards and pulling the final dealer card.

During War, the same rules apply as on the opening hand, with one exception: a tie means you keep your doubled bet and start over. You can’t go to War twice in the same round.

Highest card wins Again, the highest card on the table wins. If the player wins, their doubled War bet pays even money, and their original bet “pushes” to the next round. This means that if a doubled bet was $10, the player pockets $20, and the original $10 bet stays in place for the next round.

What happens in a tie If there’s a tie during War, the player keeps the extra bet they made on War, and their original bet is used for the next round.

The Tie Bet Casino War offers an optional Tie Bet. This is a side bet on whether the player and dealer’s War cards will match. Players can simply place their additional chips inside “Tie Bet” area when the dealer calls for bets.

Winning Tie Bets pay 10 to 1. Learn more about Casino War odds.

Higher payouts mean lower odds of winning, so placing Tie Bets to win back losses is not a winning strategy.
