Casino War is the simplest card game in the casino, based on the children's card game War. You and the dealer each receive one card, and the highest card wins. On a tie, you can go to war (double your bet for one more card) or surrender half your bet.
Always go to war on ties. Surrendering costs you an extra 0.82% in house edge.
Never make the Tie bet at 18.65% house edge.
Casino War is the easiest game to learn but not a great value due to the fast game speed.
If you enjoy simple games, baccarat (Banker at 1.06%) offers much better odds.
Good for beginners to experience the casino environment without complex rules.
