Introduction
The objective of War is
for a player to have a higher number than the dealer.
If the value of the player’s card is higher
than the dealer’s, then the player wins equal
to the amount wagered. In the case where the value
of the player’s card and the dealer’s
card is the same, the player can either fold or choose
to “go to war” by raising. If the player
folds, the amount wagered is automatically lost. If
the player raises, an amount equal to the original
wager is added to the bet and both the dealer and
player receive several cards down, and another card
face-up. The highest face-up card wins. In the case
of a win, player receives a win in the amount equal
to the total wager. For example, a player’s
wager is $5, the dealer’s wager is $5 and the
player raises $5. The player would win the total amount
of the wager, which is $15 (since the dealer never
raised). However, if the card is lower than that of
the dealer, the player loses the wager (in the case
above, the player would lose $10). If after a war
the player and the dealer have the same card value,
then the player wins – the player wins a second
tie.

Rules
Prior to receiving any cards, the
player must place a wager.æ Once the wager is made,
the player is dealt one card face up.æ The dealer
is also dealt one card face up.æ In the event there
is a tie and the player chooses to raise an amount
equal to the wager is added to the bet; both the dealer
and the player are each dealt three cards face down.
These cards are known as ñburn cardsî and will remain
face down. Following the burn cards, both the dealer
and the player are dealt a final card (face up). If
the player's second card either beats or ties the
dealer's second card then the player wins..
