Dragon Tiger rules

Two cards, two sides

Dragon and Tiger receive one card each. The higher rank wins; equal ranks produce a tie.

Rank order

In the standard order, ace is lowest, followed by 2 through 10, jack, queen and king. Suit does not decide the main comparison.

Three different outcomes

Distinguish Dragon, Tiger and Tie. A wager on a main side has different conditions from a separate Tie wager.

Ace low
Ace counts as the lowest rank and loses against a king.
King high
King is highest in the standard order, although two kings still tie.
Choosing a side
A winning main Dragon or Tiger wager normally pays 1:1.

Two comparisons, two outcomes

If Dragon receives 9 and Tiger receives 5, Dragon wins. Different suits do not change the fact that 9 is the higher rank in this comparison.

A queen on each side creates a tie. Even if the cards have different colours, neither main side has the higher rank.

A tie has separate conditions

Under the common Dragon Tiger rules, a tie loses half of each main Dragon or Tiger wager. It is not a full refund.

A separate Tie wager can have different payouts between versions. Do not assume one number applies to every table; check the relevant conditions.

A suited tie or other special wager has rules separate from the two main sides. A larger payout does not imply a more likely result.

History is not a prediction

In detail

A Dragon Tiger round and its arithmetic

These examples assume a standard 1:1 win on a main side and the common half-loss settlement on a tie. A particular version's different published conditions take priority.

An ordinary win

Suppose 100 units are placed on Dragon. Dragon receives 9 and Tiger receives 5, so Dragon wins. At 1:1, the profit is 100 units and the original 100-unit stake is returned, giving a total return of 200.

Total return and profit are different amounts. Calling the 200-unit return a 200-unit profit would count the original stake as profit. If Tiger had the higher card instead, the 100-unit Dragon wager would lose.

A separate calculation for a tie

Now suppose the same 100-unit Dragon wager is followed by a queen on each side. Under the common half-loss rule, 50 units are lost and 50 returned. Neither main side is higher, but the whole stake is not refunded.

A Tie wager is a separate decision with its own payout. This example cannot calculate its profit. Likewise, several earlier Dragon wins do not establish that either Dragon or Tiger must win the next round.
