Dragon Tiger is the simplest and fastest live card game in the casino lobby. The dealer draws just two cards: one for the Dragon and one for the Tiger. The side dealt the higher card rank wins (Kings high, Aces low). With no third-card rules and rapid 20-second rounds, it offers immediate payouts and seamless GCash banking.
Card Hierarchy & Core Showdown Rules
Dragon Tiger strips away complex card drawing formulas. A standard 8-deck shoe is used. Card rank is evaluated strictly in standard ascending order: Ace (lowest, 1 point), 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack (11), Queen (12), and King (highest, 13 points). Suits have no bearing on the main bet. The highest card takes the win, paying 1:1.
The Tie and Suited Tie Multiplier Rules
If both Dragon and Tiger receive cards of identical rank (e.g., 8♠ and 8♦), a Tie occurs. Standard Tie bets pay 11:1, while half of your original Dragon/Tiger bet is refunded as a commission fee. If both cards match in both rank and suit (e.g., both are 8♠ from different decks in the shoe), a Suited Tie occurs, paying a massive 50:1!
Side Bets: Big/Small, Odd/Even & Dragon/Tiger Color
To add tactical variety, live tables feature side bets on individual cards. You can wager on whether the Dragon or Tiger will be 'Big' (rank 8 to King) or 'Small' (rank Ace to 6), with the number 7 causing both Big and Small bets to lose as the house edge protector.
