| 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).
