How to play

Dueling for Dollars

Dueling for Dollars is played with 6-decks, using standard 52-card decks.

1. The players must make a Player or Dealer wager and will receive one card; side bets (Tie Bonus, Combo Bet) are optional.
2. After the players have made a Player or Dealer wager, the dealer starting with the player to their immediate left shall deal one face up card to each player and the dealer shall get one face up card.
3. The dealer, going from the player on his right to the player on his left, will compare the player’s card to the dealer's card. If the player's card is higher the player wins even money if the player had selected the Player wager, otherwise the wager shall lose if the player had selected the Dealer wager to win. If the dealer's card is higher, the Player wager loses and the Dealer wager wins.
4. In the event of a tie the player shall have two choices: (1) Surrender and forfeit half the Player-side wager or Dealer wager (whichever one was made), or (2) “Go to war.” If the player surrendered, the player signals this by sliding an index finger behind his bet; the dealer then takes one-half of the player’s wager, and discards the player’s card.
5. If the player ‘Goes to War’ they must place an additional bet equal to their original bet. An additional card will be given to all Customers going to war and then an additional card will be given to the Croupier.
   • If the player wagered on ‘Player’ and the second card dealt to the player equals or is higher than the ‘Dealers’ second card, the player will win even money on their additional bet only. If the player had wagered on the ‘Dealer’, all bets will lose.
   • If the player wagered on the ‘Dealer’ and the players second card equals or beats the Dealers second card then the Dealers wager and additional wager will lose. If the player had wagered on the ‘Player’, the player will win even money on their additional bet only.
   • If the player ‘Surrenders’ they will lose half the value of their original bet.
