Online Casino Reports brings you the latest and greatest in online casino gaming. This week's beginner's guide will help you understand the basic rules to an exciting new game called Casino War that can be found at most quality online casinos. If you are interested in a newer game that is exciting and fun to play then check your favorite online casino to see if they feature Casino War with their free downloadable software.

The rules to Casino War are quite straight forward. Basically, whoever draws the highest card wins. The objective of Casino War is for a player to have a higher number than the dealer.  In some ways it is like card games such as baccarat and less like strategic games like blackjack and poker. The reason is that it essentially doesn't require the same amount of strategy and practice as some of the other card games found at the online casinos.

To play online Casino War start by placing a bet. Both player and dealer receive one card each. If the value of the player's card is higher than the dealer's, then the player receives a 1 to 1 payout (even money) on his bet. If there is a tie, the player can either fold and lose or go to war and raise his bet by an amount equal to the starting bet. Both player and dealer receive three cards face-down and one card face-up. The player wins if his exposed card equals or beats the dealer's exposed card. Casino War is played with 6 decks and no Jokers. It is recommended in the case of a tie to go to war because the house edge under these rules is 2.88% and less when you fold ties.

If you feel like taking a break from the standard games you play at the online casino you can always check out something new like Casino War. The best part about online casino gaming is that with the free downloadable software you can always play these games for free.
