War of bets

Introduction

War of Bets is similar to the game casino war Similar to the game of casino war, players and dealers each receive a single card. However, participants can place bets not just on which side will win, but also on ties and various special bets for each card drawn. As cards are revealed from the shoe, the odds of winning fluctuate based on the remaining cards.

The game is offered by Betgames This company specializes in providing live dealer experiences for web-based casinos.

Rules

1. Even though the rules mention the use of a single deck, it seems to me that the game is actually being played with a six-deck shoe.
2. The dealer will distribute one card at a time for both the Player's hand and the Dealer's hand.
3. A range of betting options are presented below.
4. After each card is drawn, the odds change dynamically.
5. The Player's card is revealed first, and players can place bets before the Dealer's card is exposed.
6. The dealer takes a brief pause between each card to allow players time to make their bets.

The following bets are available:

• Player wins.
• Dealer wins.
• Tie.
• Suit of player card.
• Suit of dealer card.
• Color of player card.
• Color of dealer card.
• Player's card under 8, over 8, or exactly 8.
• Dealer's card under 8, over 8, or exactly 8.
• Player's card a face card or A-10.
• Dealer's card a face card or A-10.

Analysis

The odds appear to be adjusted after each card to maintain a maximum return of 95%. It looks like they calculate fair odds to ensure this return and then round down to the closest 0.1%.
