Casino War
Last updated: 2014-07-04
In Casino War, the objective is to hold a higher card than the dealer. If both cards are the same rank, then you can Go to War with the dealer: two more cards are dealt, with the highest winning. You also have the option of betting that the first two cards will be the same.
