Dragon Tiger: how to play, rules & tips
Play Dragon Tiger free online: one card goes to the Dragon, one to the Tiger, and the higher card wins. Back a side or bet on the tie.
How to play Dragon Tiger
Choose one bet: Dragon, Tiger or Tie. Pick your chip size and press Deal. One card is dealt face up to each side, and the higher card wins.
Cards rank from Ace (lowest) up to King (highest). Suits don't matter, so a 7 of hearts against a 7 of spades is a tie. There is no drawing and no decision after the deal, so every round is settled in one flip.
The road below the table records each result as D, T or a tie mark, with a running count for each.

Dragon Tiger tips
- Remember that Aces are low. An Ace loses to every other card unless both sides show one.
- A tie only costs half of a Dragon or Tiger bet, not the whole thing.
- The Tie bet pays 8 to 1 but loses whenever the two cards differ. Treat it as a long shot.
- Use the road to follow your session, not as a forecast. Every deal is decided by the cards.
- Keep one bet size for a while. Fast rounds make it easy to burn through chips when you chase.
