Dragon Tiger

Dragon Tiger is one of the easiest card games in any casino: one card for Dragon and one card for Tiger, the highest card wins. That's a fast and low complexity format and Pragmatic Play's version is introducing that to OKGames.

No drawing rule or hand building at all — a round is decided as soon as both cards are shown.

What is Dragon Tiger?

Dragon Tiger (card game) is a comparing card game played throughout Asian casino markets in which a single card is dealt to each of two positions, Dragon and Tiger, and the higher card wins the round.

It's often described as a simplified relative of baccarat:

• Like baccarat, you bet on which of two sides will win.
• No drawing rules and no hand totals to calculate, unlike baccarat, only one card is dealt to each side.
• There is a Tie bet available, which is won if both cards are of the same rank.

Dragon Tiger is the quickest card table game, as only two cards are dealt each round and there is no further drawing.

This type of game family is suited to those who prefer a table game that doesn't require a lot of time to play through, but rather a few seconds to reveal two cards and then have a real result.

Evolution's Bac Bo is a single-roll game that also uses dice instead of cards, and is also available on OKGames. You can also read about how live-dealer tables work in general in our live-casino guide.

How Do You Play Dragon Tiger Live?

A round of Dragon Tiger is one of the shortest sequences at any table game:

1. Before the deal, bet on Dragon, Tiger or a Tie between the two.
2. One card is dealt to the Dragon seat.
3. One card is dealt to Tiger position.
4. The side with the better card wins the round for that round — the order of the cards is usually Ace-low to King-high, although this may vary from table to table.
5. A Tie bet is paid out if both cards are of the same value.

For instance, if Dragon is dealt a Jack and Tiger is dealt an 8, Dragon wins the round, there is no additional drawing or player choice when both cards are turned up.

What Are the Best Tips for Playing Dragon Tiger?

Once the bet is made, there are no player decisions to make, so it is all about bet selection:

• Bet on Dragon or Tiger, which are near even money with a relatively low house edge.
• Tie is a much higher house edge and lower hit frequency bet that should be used occasionally.
• Before you begin, set a per-round stake, as Dragon Tiger can quickly drain a bankroll if you don't plan for the stakes.
• Keep count of the number of rounds played and not the time elapsed as rounds pass very fast.
• Don't go up in size to win back a loss, each round is its own.
• Since each round is independent, it's usually sufficient to check the odds posted at the beginning of the session — you don't need to pay attention to any new information round by round.
• Looking at the outcome of a session as a whole, and not reacting to any one round, will help to keep bet sizing in perspective.

What Mistakes Should You Avoid When Playing Dragon Tiger?

The most frequent error in Dragon Tiger is to assume that it is low-risk due to the speed and simplicity of the game:

• Although it has a much higher house edge, Betting Tie is a regular bettor because of its payout.
• Upping the ante after a losing streak, thinking that it's their turn to win.
• Playing more games than they have time for just because each game is so quick.
• Assuming that both sides pay the same odds, without looking at the table's payout information.
• Not taking into account the rules of the table for ties or pushes, which may vary from one table to another, even in the same base game.
• When a player begins to lose a few games, and thinks that the game is "rigged" because of the short-term variance, even though the odds are fair and independent.
