Dragon Tiger: Rules, Odds and House Edge

Dragon Tiger is one of the simplest casino games: two cards are dealt, one to Dragon and one to Tiger, and the higher card wins.

Key facts

House edge: about 3.7% on Dragon or Tiger. Tie: pays 8 to 1 or 11 to 1 depending on the table, with a high edge.

How to play

Bet on Dragon, Tiger or Tie. One card is dealt to each side. Aces are low and Kings are high.

What makes it different

When the two cards tie, Dragon and Tiger bets lose half their stake. That rule is where the house edge comes from.

Our tips

It's fast and simple, but the edge is higher than baccarat's Banker bet. Avoid the Tie bet. No betting system changes the house edge, so set a budget before you sit down.
