繁體中文Dragon Tiger Rules Explained
Dragon Tiger is one of the fastest casino card games: a single card is dealt to each of two spots and the higher card wins. This guide explains it. Exact payouts are shown in the game's paytable.
- One card is dealt to Dragon and one to Tiger.
- A Tie bet pays a higher fixed amount.
- It is a simpler, faster relative of baccarat — a single card each rather than a hand, with no drawing rules.
The objective
One card goes to Dragon and one to Tiger. You bet on which will be higher, or on a Tie. The higher single card wins — there are no extra cards or decisions.
The bets
You can back Dragon, Tiger or Tie. Card ranking is straightforward, usually Ace low through King high.
Tie handling
If both cards are equal it is a Tie. Tie bets pay a higher fixed amount, while Dragon/Tiger bets on a tie are usually partly lost or refunded depending on the rules — check the in-game paytable.
Why it is popular
Dragon Tiger is fast, simple and needs no strategy, which makes it a good entry point. For a similar but slightly deeper game, see baccarat.
