Description & Objectives

The objective of War is for a player to have a higher card than the dealer. If the player’s card is higher, then the player wins equal to the amount wagered. In the case where the value of the player’s card and the dealer’s card is the same, the player can either fold or choose to “go to war” by raising the bet. If the player folds, the amount wagered is automatically lost.

If the player raises, an amount equal to the original wager is added to the bet and both the dealer and player receive several cards down, and another card face-up. The highest face-up card wins. In the case of a win, player receives a win in the amount equal to the total wager.

For example, a player’s wager is $5, the dealer’s wager is $5, and the player raises $5. The player would win the total amount of the wager, which is $15 (since the dealer never raised). However, if the card is lower than that of the dealer, the player loses the wager (in the case above, the player would lose $10). If after a war the player and the dealer have the same card value, then the player wins.

Game Play

Prior to receiving any cards, the player must place a wager. Once the wager is made, the player is dealt one card face up. The dealer is also dealt one card face up. In the event there is a tie, and the player chooses to raise (go to War), an amount equal to the wager is added to the bet. Then both the dealer and the player are each dealt three cards face down. These cards are known as “burn cards” and will remain face down. Following the burn cards, both the dealer and the player are dealt a final card (face up). If the player's final card either beats or ties the dealer's final card then the player wins.
