About WAR
This online version of the classic card game War was made by me. My name is Einar Egilsson and over there on the left is my current Facebook profile picture.
How to Play War (Card Game). Has Lady Luck always shined on you? Rather than taking a chance in the gambling rooms of Las Vegas, why don't you try playing War instead? War is a game of chance that is played around the world. Las Vegas vlog March Madness Day 2Starting the day with Bellagio fountain show. The room at MGM grand had a view of The Mansion (high rollers villas). War is a very simple card game for two players. Much like real war it's incredibly long and pointless. It's mostly a kids game, since it relies exclusively on luck of the draw. Like most card games it has plenty of regional variations, but the rules used on this site are the standard rules from Wikipedia. The game is played as follows. The following is a Casino War game.You must wager on the main bet to play, and can optionally also wager on the Tie bet.After placing your bet(s), the game will deal one card to you and one card to the dealer, higher card wins (aces are highest).
My son taught me this game a few years ago when we lived in Denmark. It's named 'Krig' over there, which is just the literal translation of War. A number of people have requested it over the years, so I decided to do it now. It's a very simple game, there's nothing but luck involved, no logic or anything. I do realize this, so you don't have to email me telling me about it :). Still, kids like it and it was simple to make since I didn't have to code any smarts into the opponent, so here it is! I've tried to add in a few effects and stuff to make it a little more interesting, but at its core it's just an extremely simple and repetitive game!
As always I use graphics that I found at OpenClipArt, a fantastic site with free graphics. The playing card images were made by Nicu Buculei.

Comprehensive measures needed to fight vice

The cases reflect the phenomenon that people who make money more quickly and easily than ordinary Koreans easily fall into the trap of illegal gambling, which could be as addictive as other social vices, like excessive drinking and drug abuse.
One such example is the case involving two pitchers of the Samsung Lions baseball club. The two are under investigation over allegations that they gambled in Macau recently.
Sports stars like the Samsung pitchers, entertainers and other celebrities often ruin their careers after they are caught gambling illegally, usually overseas.
Illegal gambling is also common among business tycoons and executives. Most recently, Jeong Un-ho, CEO of Nature Republic, a local cosmetics brand that has grown rapidly in recent years, was indicted last week for illegal gambling overseas. Police also took the CEO of a shipping firm into custody on the same charges.
Gambling is often accompanied by heinous crimes. In May, prosecutors charged Jang Se-joo, CEO of Dongkuk Steel, for using tens of billions won in company funds to gamble.
Also at risk is taxpayers’ money. Currently six former and serving members of the city council in Gwangmyeong, Gyeonggi Province, are under police investigation over allegations that they gambled during trips in and outside the country. All the trips were financed by taxpayers’ money.
All these cases — involving celebrities, businesspeople and even public officials — show how rampant gambling is in our society.
One of the first steps to fight gambling is cracking down on not only gamblers but also operators of illegal gambling businesses — especially those who arrange gambling in casinos and gambling houses overseas and those who run illegal Internet sites.
The former group secures exclusive gambling rooms in foreign casinos and offers them to gamblers they recruit in the country. They often lend money to the gamblers at exorbitant interest rates and engage in unlawful foreign exchange transactions. In many cases, organized crime rings are involved in the business.
Illegal Internet gambling sites should be another target of the government clampdown. Only last week, police arrested members of a ring that pocketed 16 billion won over four years by running illegal gambling sites.
These people keep their Internet servers in foreign countries – such as China and the Philippines — and use phones and bank accounts opened under false or borrowed names.
Given the increasingly complicated operation of illegal gambling business, officials should work out comprehensive measures, which of course should include those for increasing cooperation with international organizations like the Interpol and foreign governments.
