Play Casino War ("The One-Card Duel") free, at its real house edge of -2.94%. No deposit and no real money — the chips are simulated, but the odds are the ones a real floor runs.
Ace-high, one card each from a single-deck shoe; wins and losses are exactly symmetric (1,248 vs 1,248 of 2,652 ordered draws) and the entire edge comes from surrendering half the wager on the 156 ties. That is the whole mechanism: not luck, not a losing streak, just a rule that pays you slightly less than the true odds every time it resolves. Played long enough, the outcome is not in question.
You start with $1,000 and the deed to your own home. When Casino War ("The One-Card Duel") grinds the balance down you can mortgage that deed to keep playing, and when the collateral is gone the house is foreclosed and auctioned.
