Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if my card ties with the dealer's card?
You have two options: Surrender to lose half your bet immediately, or Go to War to double your bet and receive a new card for a rematch. If you go to war and your new card is higher or equal to the dealer's card, you win even money on your war bet.
How are card rankings determined in Casino War?
Aces rank as the highest card, followed by Kings, Queens, Jacks, and numbered cards from 10 down to 2. Suit has no value in determining the winner.
What are the payouts for winning in Casino War?
A winning hand in the initial deal pays 1:1 on your original bet. A winning war bet also pays 1:1 on the war amount you matched.
Can I go to war multiple times if another tie occurs?
Rules vary by game version, but typically you can only go to war once per hand. If a second tie occurs during war, most versions end the hand as a tie.
Is there a strategy to winning at Casino War?
Casino War is a game of pure chance with no strategy that affects the outcome. Your only decision is whether to surrender or go to war on a tie, which is based on personal preference rather than skill.
