The Dragon Tiger game is a popular card game that originated in Cambodia and is now enjoyed in many casinos around the world, especially in Asia. It's a very straightforward game, often compared to Baccarat, but even simpler. Here's a quick rundown of how it works:
1. **Objective**: The goal is to bet on which hand, Dragon or Tiger, will receive the higher card.
2. **Gameplay**:
- The dealer deals two cards, one to the Dragon position and one to the Tiger position.
- Players place their bets on either the Dragon, the Tiger, or a Tie.
- The highest card wins. The ranking of the cards is similar to other card games, with Ace being the lowest and King being the highest.
3. **Betting Options**:
- **Dragon**: Bet that the Dragon hand will have the higher card.
- **Tiger**: Bet that the Tiger hand will have the higher card.
- **Tie**: Bet that both hands will have cards of the same rank. This typically has a much higher payout but is less likely to occur.
4. **Payouts**:
- Winning a bet on Dragon or Tiger usually pays 1:1.
- A Tie bet often pays 8:1 or higher, depending on the casino's rules.
5. **Card Values**:
- Cards are ranked from Ace (low) to King (high).
6. **No Suits**: Unlike some other card games, the suits of the cards do not matter in Dragon Tiger.
It's a game of pure chance, with no skill or strategy involved, making it easy for beginners to pick up quickly. Have you played it before, or are you planning to try it out?
