Game Rules

In War, either a "Bet" bet or a Tie bet must be placed before the cards can be dealt.

The player receives 1 card face up.

The dealer receives 1 card face up.

According to the Card Rankings:

• if the player beats the dealer, he is paid evens - or 1 to 1, Tie bets lose, and the game is ended.

• if the player loses to the dealer, "Bet" bets and Tie bets lose, and the game is ended.

• if the player ties with the dealer:

  • if he had placed a Tie bet, then the player is paid 11 - 1.

  • he must decide to Surrender or (Go To) War.

By surrendering, a player is returned half his "Bet" bet, and the game is ended.

If the player goes to war:

• the players "Bet" bet is doubled, i.e. a raise bet of an equal amount to his "Bet" bet.

  • If the player has insufficient funds to double his "Bet" bet they may deposit more funds and return to the game at a later date.

• three burnt cards are dealt face down and a fifth card is dealt face up to the dealer.

• a second card is dealt face up to the player.

• the dealers fifth card vs. the players second card is evaluated according to the card rankings:

  • if the player ties with or beats the dealer, he is is paid evens - or 1 to 1 on the raise bet. His original "Bet" bet will push, and the game is ended.

  • if the player loses to the dealer the game is ended.
