ODDS EXPLANATION


Dragon Tiger is about as simple as gambling can get. It is basically baccarat with a two-card version. To be more specific, two cards are drawn, each one to the Dragon and the Tiger. The player will bet on which one will be higher. There are also some proposition bets on individual cards. The game has never been seen, even in Macau, but the game is rumored to be found in Cambodia.

Rules of the game

Any number of standard decks can be used. We shall assume eight for this analysis.
The cards ranked are like in poker, except the aces are always low.
A single card is drawn to each of the Dragon and Player hands.
The basic bet is on which hand will get the higher card.
Other proposition bets are available, as explained below.

Dragon/Tiger

If the chosen hand gets the higher card the Dragon and Tiger bets will win. Ties lose half. The house edge of 3.73% is shown in the following return table.

Odd/Even

This pair of bets which are in Dragon Tiger bets are like the Big and Small bets above mathematically. We suspect that the aces are a loss for both bets. The other ranks are divided between six evens and six odds. The Odd and Even bets are not offered at all tables.

Suit

The player may bet on the suit of a specific card. Wins payout 3 to 1. However, the wager will automatically lose if the chosen card is exactly seven. The house edge of 7.69% is shown in the following table.

Advice

We would stick to the Dragon Tiger bets since they offer the lowest house edge for the non-counter who must play. The counter will not have trouble noticing that the small, big and suit bets would be highly countable.
