Casino War is incredibly easy to learn and play, making it perfect for both beginners and seasoned gamblers alike. To start, place your bet on either "Player" or "Dealer." Once bets are placed, both you and the dealer will receive one face-up card each from the deck.
If your card has a higher rank than the dealer's card (Ace being high), congratulations! You've won that round. Your initial bet pays even money, meaning if you wagered $10 ZWL, you'll receive $20 ZWL back – doubling your money!
However, if your card ranks lower than the dealer's or vice versa – don't lose hope just yet! A tie triggers what we call going "to war." Here's where things get interesting; you have two choices:
- Surrender: If you choose this option when faced with a tie situation, half of your original bet goes back into your pocket.
- Go to war: By selecting this bold move during a tie scenario, you're essentially doubling down on your initial bet. An additional wager equal to your original bet will be placed before another round begins.
The second round starts by dealing another card face-up to both you and the dealer. If your new card outranks the dealer's, you win! But if it's a tie again, don't fret – you can continue going to war until someone emerges victorious.
