The goal of Dragon Tiger is to guess which card between the Tiger and Dragon positions will have the highest numerical value. There are several bet options available - Dragon, Tiger, Tie, Big, Small, and Suit.
To start a game of Dragon Tiger, the dealer will shuffle the cards securely and then select two cards from the stack to be placed face down in the Tiger and Dragon positions. The players then have the opportunity to place their bets on one of the options. After the bets have been made, the cards are then revealed face up.
The card with the highest number value wins. In the event of a tie, then the player who made the bet on the Tie will be paid the appropriate winnings. If the game is being played without the Tie option, then any bets made on the Tie will be refunded to the player.
The Big and Small option bets will be settled based on the total sum of the cards. A Big bet is one that is placed on a total sum greater than 8 whereas a Small bet is placed on a total sum lower than 8. Finally, players can also place bets on the suits of the cards dealt.
