Objective:
Beat the dealer by having a higher hand
You lose if you hand is less than the dealers or if you go over 21

Card ranking:
2-10 are their face value. Jack , queen, and king, all count as 10. Ace can be an 11 or a 1.
If you have a value exceeding 21 and you have an ace, the ace will automatically equal 1.

Minimum number of players:
2 (1 player plus dealer)

Decks:
Casino war is played with a simulated 8 decks that get reshuffled after every round.

Betting scheme: 
Players start by placing an ante bet along with any additional side bets

Dealing procedure:
After all players have placed bets, cards will be dealt to the players starting from the dealers left to right and ending with the dealer.
The dealer will deal 1 card to every player face up then one card to himself face down then another card to all the players face up then one card to him face up.
The player closest to the dealers left will then be given the option to hit, stay, double down, or split.
If the player decides to hit, the dealer will deal another card to that player. The player will count their total and either hit again or stay. The player can hit up until they either stay or go over 21.
When the player stays they will be dealt no more cards and it will be the next players turn (left to right)
If the player decides to double down they will place an additional bet equal to their ante and be given one more card. After that the player automatically stays and that's the end of their turn.
If the player is dealt 2 cards with the same value they have the option to split. If they split, they will put forth a second wager and the 2 cards will be split and act as 2 separate hands. Then each of these cards will be dealt one more card. The player then has the option to hit or stay on the first hand. If they hit that hand they will get another card until they stay or are above 21. Once they stay or that hand goes above 21 they will do the same process for the second hand.
After all players have stayed or gone above 21. The dealer will flip over their card and continue drawing until they either go above 21 or their hand equals 17 or more.
The player and dealers hands will then be compared.

Other:
We currently do not offer re-splitting or doubling down on splits.
We hope to add this feature in the future.
