Mohegan Sun in CT is now offering this. Haven't viewed it in person, just noticed it on their website. Now, I see all the BJ variations (777, etc.) they have running, and see folks happily parting with their money and thinking they're getting a bargain, and I hate to see another "enticement" that's only going to help the house's bottom line. Just wondering what the statisticians here thought of this. I quote:
"The object of Casino War is for the player to have a higher ranking single card dealt to them than the dealer.
After the players have completed placing their bets, the dealer will give each player one card, face-up. The dealer will also get one card, face-up.
In addition to the initial wager, the player may elect, prior to any cards being dealt, to make a "Tie" wager (from $1.00 to $100.00 max.).
To win the "Tie" wager, the rank of the player and the dealer card must be equal. Tie wagers are paid at odds of 10 to 1.
To win the initial wager, the rank of the player's card must exceed the rank of the dealer's card (the rank of the card is as follows: Ace [high], King, Queen, Jack, etc.). All initial winning wagers are paid even money.
If the player's and dealer's cards have the same rank, the player is given the option to go to "War" with the "House". The player must make another bet equal to their initial wager to exercise the war option. The dealer also matches the player's initial wager and places it next to the player's wager. The dealer then burns, face down the next three (3) cards and deals the next card to the player, then burns three (3) more cards face down and then deals the following card to himself. If the player's card has a higher rank than the dealer's card then the player wins the "War". If the player's card has a lower rank than the dealer's card then the player loses. Either way, the winner of the war collects all the money in front of that player and the dealer starts a new game. If the dealer and the player cards are of equal rank after the player has exercised his/her option to go to war, the player automatically wins the war and is paid a bonus equal to their original war wager.
If the player chooses not to go to war with the dealer, he/she will relinquish half of their original bet."
Any thoughts?
