WHAT IS DRAGON TIGER?

  • Often described as a two-card Baccarat version, Dragon Tiger shares many similarities with the popular card game. Originally introduced in Cambodia, Dragon Tiger has since spread in many online casinos around the world. Asian players love the simplicity and fast pace of the game which makes it suitable for high rollers and streak bettors.
  • Players have limited moves when playing this live dealer game and they can place their bets on the Dragon or the Tiger spit. Whichever has the highest card will be the winner and payouts are offered accordingly. There are also tie bets that can be placed which will bet on whether the two revealed cards will be of equal value. The payout for this bet is 8:1, just like with Baccarat. However, tie bets offer the casino a huge edge at 32.7%, so this bet is best avoided.
Play
  • To enjoy the game, players will place their real money bets on the Dragon or the Tiger. The player will then wait for the live dealer to place the cards on the table, both of which will be revealed face up. There are no further actions in the game. The highest card will win. However, there are two rules that are in play. All aces are low cards and if both spots receive the same value card, the hand is a tie and the house will take half of every wager that has been placed. Other than that, the game is straight forward and very easy to play. There are no special rules and no skills that are required to enjoy Dragon Tiger. Players will simply guess which spot will receive the highest card on the deal.
  • The game of Dragon Tiger attracts mostly Asian players in land based casinos, but when playing online, any player can enjoy the fast action of the game and can also enjoy a live dealer presentation in real time. Dragon Tiger is played with a standard deck of cards and the game usually used between 6 and 8 decks in a shoe. With this game, players will not play against the dealer. It is similar to Baccarat and players will choose which hand will be likely to receive the highest card. 
  • Made for Baccarat enthusiasts, Dragon Tiger is a game where you aim to predict who has the higher card – Dragon or Tiger. Just like in other casino game, you’re not playing against the dealer or other players. The goal of the game is to predict which hand has the highest card. There are no additional cards drawn in the game.

Dragon Tiger

  • Dragon Tiger is a fast-action game played with cards on a table.
  • The game begins when players bet on either Dragon or Tiger options on the table. 
  • Depending on whether you bet on the Dragon or the Tiger box, you win if the highest card appears on that particular option.

How to Play?

  • First, you bet on either the Dragon or the Tiger box by placing chips on either of the two options.
  • Then the dealer draws one card for each set and places them on the respective boxes on the table.
  • You win if your initial bet or call has the highest card value among the two box options. Or else, you lose. 

RULES TO KNOW

  • In the game Dragon Tiger, there are two options for you to bet on. You can place a bet either on the Dragon set or the Tiger set.
  • The cards are drawn from a shoe containing 6 to 8 pre-shuffled decks of cards.
