If the player and dealer’s cards have the same rank the player is given the option to go to “War” with the dealer. The player must make another bet equal to their primary wager to exercise the “War” option, the dealer also matches the player’s primary wager and places it next to the player’s. The dealer then “burns” three cards and deals a single card to the player(s) and then themselves. 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, the player loses. If the player and the dealer’s cards are of equal rank on the “War” the player wins the “War”.

The winner of the “War” collects all the money on the table and the dealer starts a new game.

If the player chooses not to “War” with the dealer, he or she may option to surrender half their Primary wager.
