I ran the numbers, and compared standard blackjack at 14x (0.58% house edge, expected final result $229.70, +/- $158.75) with War at 7x (2.88% house edge, $199.60 expected final, +/- $98.22). I decided to go with War, and it plays a lot faster than BJ does. After 30 minutes of play, I'd already hit my wagering requirement.
Maybe someone better with math than me can look over this "War" chart, but I think I ended up taking in more than two standard deviations more than expected.
- 2 SD | - 1 SD | Expected final | + 1 SD | + 2 SD |
$3.16 | $101.38 | $199.60 | $297.82 | $396.04 |
