War is a simple and fast-paced card game. The objective of War is to bet on whether your card will be higher than the dealer’s. You compete only against the dealer.
There’s also an option to bet on whether your card and the dealer’s card will match in value by placing a bet on Tie. In the case of a Tie, you must decide – Surrender or Go To War.
The aim of War is to predict if your card will rank higher than the dealer’s card.
After the allotted betting time has expired, you and the dealer are dealt one face-up card each. Whoever has the highest-ranking card wins the round.
If there’s a Tie (both you and the dealer have a card of the same rank), War occurs. In this case, you must decide – Surrender or Go To War.
Once you have decided to Go To War, the dealer discards three cards face-down before dealing each of you an additional card face-up. If your card is higher than the dealer’s card, you win the amount of your original bet. If the dealer’s card is higher, you lose your doubled bet.
If a Tie occurs during the War, the same process is repeated until there is a winner (four consecutive Ties is the limit for each round). If there are multiple Ties in a row, the round continues with your existing doubled bet, and no additional bets are allowed.
You may choose to Go To War only once, during your first Tie. If there are multiple consecutive Ties, you won’t have the option to decide and will immediately Go To War with your doubled bet.
War offers an optional side bet – you can bet on a Tie without placing a main (Player) bet. If you place your bet on a Tie and your card matches the dealer’s card, you win:
| Tie Side Bet | |
|---|---|
| 1st Tie | 10:1 |
| 2nd Tie in a row | 25:1 |
| 3rd Tie in a row | 50:1 |
| 4th Tie in a row | 200:1 |
Please note that for each number of Ties, there is a separate payout (they are not combined).
You can bet on Tie once during each round. If there are multiple Ties in a row, the round continues with your existing bet, and no additional bets are allowed.
Each round has a limit of four Ties, and the round will finish after the fourth consecutive Tie.
Your payout depends on the type of bet placed.
| Bet | Pays |
|---|---|
| Main | 1:1 |
| Side bet (1st Tie) | 10:1 |
| Side bet (2nd Tie in a row) | 25:1 |
| Side bet (3rd Tie in a row) | 50:1 |
| Side bet (4th Tie in a row) | 200:1 |
You’ll receive a 10:1 bonus payout on your main bet if you hit four Ties in a row.
Please note that any malfunction voids the game round and all eventual payouts for the round. Bets will be returned.

In the Immersive view, the Timer informs you of the duration of betting time. After it expires, betting is closed and no more bets are accepted.
The Chip Display allows you to select the value of each chip you wish to bet. Only chips of denominations that can be covered by your current balance will be enabled.
Once you have selected a chip, place your bet by simply clicking/tapping the appropriate bet spot on the game table. Each time you click/tap the bet spot, the amount of your bet increases by the value of the selected chip or up to the maximum limit for the type of bet you have selected. Once you have bet the maximum limit, no additional funds will be accepted for that bet, and a message will appear above your bet to notify you that you have bet the maximum.
Note: Please do not minimise your browser or open any other tab in your browser while betting time remains and you have placed bets on the table. Such actions may be interpreted as leaving the game, and your bets will therefore be declined for that particular game round.
The Repeat button allows you to repeat all bets from the previous game round. This button is available only before the first chip is placed.
The Double (x2) button becomes available after you have placed any bet. Each click/tap doubles all your bets up to the maximum limit. Note that you must have a sufficient account balance to double all your placed bets.

You can click/tap the Undo button repeatedly to remove bets, one by one, in the reverse order in which they were placed. You can clear all your bets by holding the Undo button.

If there is an error in the game, system or game procedure, the game round will be temporarily paused while the game host notifies the service manager. You and other players will be notified via Chat, or by an on-screen pop-up message, that the issue is being investigated. If the manager can immediately resolve the error, the game round will continue as normal. If immediate resolution is not possible, the game round will be cancelled, and the initial bets will be refunded to all the players who participated in the game round.
If you are disconnected from a game round, any placed bets remain valid and are settled in your absence. Upon reconnecting, you can view the bet outcomes in the History window.
Gameplay continues until the cut card is dealt. Subsequently, the cards are shuffled by a dealer or a shuffler.
If a shuffle table is available, then two shoes with two sets of playing cards are used at the table. In this case, the dealer swaps the shoes, and the shuffle is performed by a shuffler at the shuffling table while the dealer continues to host the game round.
