How To Play Casino War

The Aim

Casino War is an exciting fast paced game based on the traditional card game of War, where you play your hand against the Dealer. The aim of the game is for your card to have a higher ranking than the Dealer’s card. If you are dealt a card with the same ranking as the Dealer, you can then elect to Go to War or Surrender. You can also place a Tie wager which wins if you draw a card with the same ranking as the Dealer’s card.
