Casino War is considered the easiest card game to play
in the casino. The rules are simple - whoever draws the highest card
wins. The objective of War is for a player to have a higher number
than the dealer. After placing an initial bet, both player and dealer
receive one card. 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/her wager. In the event of a tie, the player can either fold (and
lose the initial bet) or "go to war", by raising his/her bet by an
amount equal to the initial bet. Both player and dealer receive three
cards face-down and one card face-up. The player wins if his/her
face-up card equals or beats the dealer's face-up card. If the player
wins, he/she receives a 1 to 1 payout (even money) on his/her raise
wager only, and the initial wager is a push. If the dealer's face-up
card is higher than the player's face-up card, the player loses both
bets. War is played with 6 decks and no Jokers, and the decks are
reshuffled after each hand.

Playing as Dealer
BeTheDealer Casino offers you the unique option of playing the role of
the Dealer. This option increases your chances of winning, since you
gain some of the favorable odds reserved for the casino. At the end of
every round the casino takes a commission of 1.5% of the total bets
bet against the Dealer.
Example
A Dealer chooses to play in Table III. This means that the Dealer
meets the minimum requirements for playing in this table type: a
minimum of 800 Credit Points and a minimum balance of $420.
The system then matches a Player to the Dealer and after the Dealer
'Approves' the next round, the Player places his/her bets on the
table. Notice that the view of the table has changed to that of the
Dealer's.
Let's say the Player places $300 and receives '9' and the Dealer's
card is 'Q'.
The Player loses his/her bet and since the bet against the Dealer was
$300 the casino takes a commission of 1.5%*300 = $4.5, which means the
Dealer wins 300-4.5 = $295.5 on this round.
The casino's edge in War with these rules is approximately 2.9% (bear
in mind that this 2.9% is how the casino makes a profit on War) so as
the Dealer you actually gain an edge of about 1.4%.
Minimum Credit Points and Balance
You can play as Dealer once you have accumulated enough Credit Points
and in addition you need to have enough money in your Balance,
according to the game's limits described in the Game Options page.
The Minimum balance required is a bit higher than the total winnings
of the Player in a given round, which are: (Maximum Bet) + 1.5%(Casino
commission) * 2 * (Maximum Bet).
Game Options
" Approve" Button / 'Auto-Approve' Feature
When playing as Dealer, before each round commences you must 'Approve'
the next round. After you approve the round, the Player can place
his/her bets and play the round. The 'Auto-Approve' feature lets you
automatically approve the next rounds, without having to approve every
round individually.
Disconnections
Communication problems over the Internet may cause sudden
disconnections. We have designed our software to cope with such
incidents in a manner that our clients will be protected from
unjustifiable loss, while eliminating the possibility of intentional
disconnections and/or system abuse.
Should a disconnection occur after the Dealer pressed the "Approve"
button, play will continue until the Player has finished his turn.
This has no effect on the Dealer, since the Dealer is played
automatically according to the rules of the game.
After connection is re-established the Dealer can enter the
"History" page and see the results of the last round ("History" is
available for Money mode only).
