Casino War: one card for you, one for the dealer
The simplest card game in the 918Kiss lobby. Where to place chips, what the felt says about ties, and the one decision you get when cards match.
Casino War is the old children's card game War, played for money against a dealer. You get one card, the dealer gets one card, and the higher card wins. There is almost nothing to learn, which is why rounds go by so fast.
The table
In the screenshot above, the blue felt has six round betting circles in a wide arc, with the Casino War shield emblem at the top. A single line runs across the felt: Tie bets pay 10 to 1. That is the only payout printed on the table.
The limits box in the top corner reads MIN 0.5 and MAX 1000. The chip rail along the left runs 0.5, 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500 and 1000, and CURRENT BALANCE sits in the bottom-left corner.
Placing a bet and dealing
Tap a chip, then tap a circle to place it. Tap again to add more. Once your chips are down, press Deal. The old notes also mention a way to take chips back off the table before the deal, and a New game button to go again once the round is settled.
A round with two hands
The second capture shows two circles in play. One holds a 0.5 chip plus a 1-unit chip and was dealt a Jack. The other holds a 0.5 main bet with a 1-unit chip placed beside it and was dealt a 9. The dealer turned up a 4, so both hands won, and the bottom bar shows a win of 2.
When the cards match
A tie is the only moment you make a choice. According to the old instructions, you can press Surrender and lose half your bet. In standard Casino War the other option is to go to war: add a bet equal to the first, and a new card is dealt to you and the dealer. The in-game help will confirm how this table handles it.
Who it suits
Players who want a straight coin-toss feel with cards. There is no skill to it beyond the surrender decision, so the stake size is the only thing you control.
