I wouldn't say WAR is threatening Blackjack or Three Card Poker, but
it's still out there. The table was pretty crowded at Mohegan last
month when I was there.
I'm familiar with the kids game, but not 100% familiar with exactly
how the Casinos get their edge (I think it's on the 'ties'), but I'm
sure the game would get even MORE play if it were 100% EV. It gets
more than it deserves at its sub 100% EV.
And again, my comment was not based on the 'excitement' of the game,
but on the math alone. Each person has his own form of gambling
they consider exciting.

The bottom line is if Double-Up was a stand alone game, it would
probably get a fair amount of play. AT 100% EV, it would beat
most
games in a casino.
As I recall, a few years back some of the casinos had WAR as a
table
game.....didn't last too long as I don't see it anymore...and
isn't doubling up just a
version of WAR?
