This is a simple and straightforward card game. All cards
are ranked according to their poker value and Aces are the
highest.
The player and the dealer get one card each. If the player's
card is better than the dealer's card, then the player wins
even money. If the dealer's card is better than the player's
card, the player loses.
If both cards are of equal value, then the player may either
lose half his bet or elect to go to 'war' against the dealer
(similar to the 'En Prison' rule in roulette). The player
has also the option of a 10:1 side bet that the two initial
cards will tie.
If the player elects to go to 'war', then he must double
his bet. The dealer then disposes of or burns three cards
before giving both the player and himself a second card. If
the player's second card either beats or ties the dealer's
second card, then the player wins even money on the raise
and the original bet is a push. If the dealer's second card
beats the player's second card the player loses both his original
and the additional bet.
