BlackJack WAR

**bjkid** · 08-20-2017, 08:00 PM

Hello,

I'm new here, and I like to play the game Blackjack WAR. I would like to know some place where I could play this game, and to know if this is with a shoe or a CSM, and with how many decks. unfortunately this request is not on the CBJN list...

I hope someone could help me if some people know where I could find this game.

Best regards, bjkid

You are better off just playing blackjack. The war bet has a house edge of 1.16%

Now if you are ever in my neck of the woods here is a casino offering War Blackjack. I'm just going by their web page, I have never seen the game. I have been at Mole Lake and I can say it is out in the boonies.

Thanks for your info, I also need to know if it is with CSM.

I know the game is poor, but there is some reason why I would like to play it. Anyway thanks for the info, this is good for me

Google is your friend. A google search will reveal some casinos that have war blackjack. A lot of the google info on war blackjack is from 2014 so it may not be up to date. Find the casinos offering war blackjack and then call them to see if they still have the game. At the same time ask if it is dealt with a CSM.

Here are a couple more links on casinos with war blackjack. They may no longer have the game. The second link will eventually show a map showing where war blackjack can be found. Looks like CA has most games, not much in eastern USA.

are you implying this side game is beatable? if so email me at [email protected] to discuss furthur, I have great games for this around here

As my frensh accent is very big, the casino doesn't understand me when I call them.

If someone want to call them for me, I can pay the job on paypal, to get the list of all casino who get the Blackjack WAR, what I need to know is how many decks ? min/max? and also CSM or shoe.

Hypercube : I don't think this is beatable, but I will check

In the rare situations that it might make sense to make the War Wager you would need to get enough to overcome a 1.16% HE on the War Wager. I don't think that would ever happen.

weak hand shuffle and sequencing would work if you find a game that meets the bill. only thing jumping out at me first thought

I understand you all. I'm not here for discutting the strategy to beat, or to speak about a non-beatable game... I just want help from someone who could call the casino for me, and I could pay for this, to get the informations that i need.

You incorrectly assume the casino would have anything close to accurate info when answering the phone. They won't.

It sounds to me like you don't want to do any of the work yourself. If language is a problem then email them. Find the casinos that have war blackjack then go to their web site. Most casino's web sites have a "contact us" link where you can send an email with all your questions.

You have to ask to talk to the pit. Then you get good info.

**bjkid** · 08-23-2017, 09:15 AM

I didn't try to send emails. I will try to send emails to get these infos.

Lots of casino websites advertise their side bets. I don't know if it's most or few or whatever, but browsing through websites, I've seen it quite a bit.

Unfortunately, talking to them on the phone isn't too reliable of a source. I've called casinos and asked questions about which games they have, hours of operation, promotions, table limits, etc., and often enough I get 5 different answers from 3 different people....then when I show up, they were all wrong.

When talking to them on the phone, don't assume they're all telling the truth (not that they're purposely lying). Figure out who's confident and knows what they're talking about and who doesn't. If you ask if they have casino war and they say, "War? What do you mean? No I'm not sure what that is, no we don't have it." whatever they say after that -- just ignore it. If you have to explain how the side bet works, what a shoe or CSM is, or anything like that, just ignore them -- they're worthless and probably wrong in everything they say. If they say, "Oh yeah, we have war on 3 tables, perfect pairs on 3, and no side bets on our pitch games" you can have some confidence what that person told you is true (or at least partially true).

Hopefully with something this simple, you'll get more accurate answers and it shouldn't be too difficult, barring the language barrier. Unfortunately, with my experience, the can still f*** up the simplest and easiest of things.
