Casino War has a house edge of 2.88% when you always go to war on ties. Surrendering on ties increases the edge to 3.70%. The Tie side bet carries a massive 18.65% house edge and should never be placed.
You and the dealer each get one card. The higher card wins and pays even money. On a tie, you can surrender (lose half your bet) or go to war (match your original bet). In war, three burn cards are dealt and you each get one more card — if you win or tie, you get paid.
Always go to war on ties — surrendering gives the casino a bigger edge. Beyond that, there are no strategic decisions. Casino War is pure luck, which makes it one of the simplest games on the floor.
BonusBell's free Casino War game uses a provably fair deal and helps you understand the math behind war decisions and tie bet traps. Session grading tracks your results and decision-making. No signup required.
