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.
Tie
If the Dragon and Tiger cards are equal in rank the Tie bet will win. Wins payout is 8 to 1. The house edge of 32.77% will be shown in the following table.
Hypothetically, here is what would be on the Tie bet house edge at different payouts from 8 to 12 to 1.
Suited Tie
If the Dragon and Tiger cards are equal in both rank and suit the Suited Tie bet will win. Wins payout 50 to 1. The house edge of 13.98% is shown in the following table.
Big/Small
The player can bet whether a specific card will be over or under seven. The wager will lose if the chosen card is exactly seven. Wins pay even money. The house edge of 7.69% is shown in the following 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.
Two Red & Two Black
A pair of side bets that both cards will be red or both black are offered by Asia Live Tech. A tie results in losing half, no matter what the colors of the cards are. The math on Two Black is obviously the same. The house edge of 3.73% is shown in the lower right cell.
One Red & One Black
A side bet that wins if one card is red and the other black was offered by Asia Live Tech also. A result in a half loss, no matter what the colors of the cards are. The house edge of 3.73% is shown in the lower right cell in the table below.
