賭場如戰場，許多人到賭場去的正當理由都說是消遣，其實莫非為了想贏錢，賭場雖然殷勤接待，骨子裏也是要贏客人的銀子。所以說；客人進入賭場，要有臨淵屨薄的警惕，你進入 Casino，就是去打仗一場戰爭 (War)，勝負也許不在一時或一地，亦即不爭一個戰場 (Battle Field） 的輸贏，而要贏得整場戰爭 (War)，作為一個 Player，要能在整場戰爭 (War) 中取勝，就要在走出 Casino 時，能贏到錢！賭場亦然。今日莊家 (Casino) 輸給了你，它就希望你改日仍然回來。Casino 打的是長期戰，所以客人久賭必輸！賭場著眼於整場戰爭 (War)，而非一次戰鬥 (Battle) 的輸贏， “Casino War” - 賭場戰爭，這個看似沈悶而且愚蠢的賭戲，大概就隱寓著這個意思。


CASINO WAR:


This is a silly little game offered by many of the larger casinos. Casino War is a simple card-matching game. One card is dealt to the player and one to the dealer. The cards are compared, and whoever get the higher card wins, if a tie occurs. Then the player has the option of raising and two more cards are dealt. Again, the cards are compared and the higher card wins all.
許多大型賭場已經提供一種最簡單易懂的小賭戲，稱作 “Casino War” (戰爭)，玩法是 “閑家” (Player) 和 “莊家” (Dealer) 各發一張牌，互相比較，牌大者為贏。如果牌點相同，雙方再各發一張，以牌力大者為贏家，夠簡單吧？！


On this game, one or more standard 52-card decks may be used, standard card rankings are applied, where the deuce is low and the ace is always high. Suits have no relative value.
在這個 “戰爭”賭戲中，可能使用一幅或多幅牌，依牌力互比，2 點為最小 “Ace”為最大，不比花色，只比牌力。


The players also may make a side bet as to whether or not the hand will result in a tie. Whenever a tie occurs, if you made the tie side bet, you are paid 10 to 1.
閑家除了 “本注” (Initial Wager) 之外，也可以押 “和局” (Tie)，如果雙方的牌相同，就成和局，賠率為 10 對 1。


If the second pair of cards is also a tie, you win the hand and get a bonus equal to your initial wager.
如果雙方和局，再各發的一張牌仍然成和局，則閑家押 “和局”的旁注(Side Wager) 就贏，而且也贏 “本注”，算是 “紅利” (Bonus)。


Understandably, this game is not very popular, it is a dull little game that doesn’t even have a big jackpot to keep you interested.
可想而知，這樣簡單而沉悶的賭戲，不會很受到客人青睞，特別是賠率方面也沒有特別吸引客人的大獎(Jackpot)。莊、閑雙方以一張牌定輸贏，純粹是為賭而賭了。
