Has anyone here played casino war?
1 of the more basic games at the cas where u basically bet on the draw of a card.
With a house edge of less than 3%, just wondering how beatable the game is?

1 card to the player and 1 to the dealer ... If you hit the same card value the dealer will offer you the opportunity to go to war, which is basically a double or nothing 1-on-1 with the dealer.
IE, I bet $25 and pull a 6, dealer also pulls a 6 ... I can then accept a push and keep my $25, or put in another $25 to risk $50 for the chance to win $50.

So where does the 3% edge to the dealer come in?

Yeah basically mate, Croupier in Melb told me that the "War bet" is the one that puts returns in their favour

How Beatable ?
R U for real ?
U answered your own Question by stating the house edge was less than 3%.
If it was Beatable do u think the casino would have it in there?

Blackjack is beatable, and im guessing if u didnt go to war then the edge would get down to less than 1%, just slightly better than baccarat and craps
