Casino War on Mega888: High Card Wins, and What to Do on a Tie

Casino War is about as simple as table games get. You get one card, the dealer gets one card, and the higher card wins. It is on Mega888 for players who want a quick game with almost nothing to learn.

How a round of Casino War plays

1. Place your main bet.
2. You and the dealer each receive one card face up.
3. If your card is higher, you win the round and your stake is paid even money in the standard game.
4. If the dealer's card is higher, you lose the bet.

Aces are normally high. Suits do not matter, only rank.

When the cards tie: surrender or war

A tie is where the game makes you decide. You have two options:

• Surrender. You give up the round. In the usual rules you get half your stake back.
• War. You add a second bet equal to the first, more cards are dealt, and the next comparison decides the outcome.

Surrendering limits the loss on that hand. Going to war keeps you in with a chance, but it doubles what is at risk. The exact payouts on a war win are shown in the game's help screen, so read them once before you play.

The optional tie bet

Before the deal you can also place a side bet that the two cards will tie. If they do, it pays 10:1. That sounds generous, but ties are uncommon, and side bets like this usually carry a higher house edge than the main bet. Treat it as a small extra, not a strategy.
