War of Bets rules: one card each, highest wins.
The simplest game on the floor. One card to the player, one to the dealer, and the higher card takes it. A betting window in the middle makes it interesting.
How a round plays out
- 1. The player's card is dealt face up.
- 2. A betting window opens with that card visible.
- 3. The dealer's card is dealt.
- 4. The higher card wins; the round settles immediately.
The twist is the middle step. Because you can see the player's card before betting closes, the odds on offer move to reflect it: a low card on show makes the dealer the favourite, and the prices adjust accordingly.
Alongside the main outcome, tables carry markets on the suit and the colour of the next card, on whether it lands above or below a set value, and on whether it is a picture card.
Payouts move with the cards, so there is no fixed table to quote. What is on offer at the moment you bet is what applies, and how a tie is settled varies between operators, so check the table's own rules before you play it.
