Casino War from Party Gaming

Casino War is easily one of the most recognizable games in the world. That's because it is played and enjoyed by kids, teens and adults the world over. Now PartyGaming software is bringing this fabulous game ever closer to players with its online casino variant. Casino War is the easiest card game to understand, and there is a lot of fun to be had.

How Casino War works

There are several variants of this popular game, but the PartyGaming one is particularly exciting. Chief among its qualities is the authentic look and feel of the game. The betting green is clear cut and wide open. The text font is big and there is no clutter. Players are able to stack their chips and view their cards in an old school setting - flanked by cannons.  Bets begin at 1, 5, 25 or 100 currency units.  The minimum bet is 1 and the maximum bet is 200.

The player is dealt his/her card first, then the dealer. The high card always wins the betting round. If however a tie ensues, then players are faced with two possibilities. The first is the surrender option. The second is the ‘Go to War' option. If a player opts to go to war, then the dealer deals 3 cards face-down and the 4^th card is dealt face-up (the dealer's 2^nd card). The player then receives his/her 2^nd card. The higher card wins and the payouts are well good.

Bet types in Casino War

There are essentially three types of bets allowed in Casino War - these include: Ante bets, Raise bets and the Tie bets. The Ante bet is placed before any cards have been dealt. The Raise bet option comes into play when there is a tie. The Tie bet option is interesting. A player can expect a tie in advance and place this type of bet. If it comes good then the pay day is 10 to 1.
