How Casino War odds work
At a basic level, since both the player and dealer cards are selected randomly, the odds of winning a round are almost equal for both:
- The chance of ending up with the highest card on the table is roughly 46.3%
The odds of scoring a tie are substantially lower: 7.4%. This is what makes rounds of War more infrequent and exciting!

House edge
The house edge is a statistical advantage the house has over players. Think of it as the profit a casino needs to operate and pay the jackpots that keep things exciting and entertaining.
