What is Live Dragon Tiger?

Watch the Dragon and Tiger Come to Life

Live Dragon Tiger gives players the opportunity to sit at a table that has a professionally trained dealer at the centre of the screen. The two positions on the table are the Dragon and the Tiger position, located to the left and right-hand side of the screen, respectively. When playing Live Dragon Tiger, you will have the benefit of experiencing a casino-atmosphere that is presented through HD cameras.

The live dealer game is presented in an exciting studio in the Philippines. The table is in the middle of the studio, so players can view other table games playing in the background. Thanks to the latest technology and streaming connectivity, Live Dragon Tiger can be played on any mobile device.

Live Dragon Tiger Rules

The rules to Live Dragon Tiger are incredibly straightforward to learn. Essentially, before every round, players will have the option of betting on the Dragon or the Tiger position. The position with the stronger card wins the round. In this game, Aces are the lowest card and Kings are the highest. It is also possible to bet on a Tie, in case both cards have the same value.

Live Dragon Tiger is played with eight decks of cards that are shuffled before every round. To start a round, you must first place your stake onto the table using casino chips. After all bets are placed, the dealer will place a card on the Dragon and Tiger positions on the table. The position with the stronger card wins the round. That is all there is to know about the rules of Live Dragon Tiger.

Live Dragon Tiger Payouts

If you have successfully predicted the position with the stronger card, you will receive a payout of 1:1. If not, you lose your stake. If you bet on one of the positions, and the round ends as a tie, 50% of your stake is returned.

One of the more rewarding payouts is won if you can correctly predict both cards to have the same value. If the round ends as a tie, a payout of 10:1 is awarded.

Live Dragon Tiger Side Bets

Thankfully, Playtech’s Live Dragon Tiger has more about it than just the standard base game. If that were the case, the game would be slightly one-dimensional. However, to make things more interesting, the live dealer game has four different side bets. That includes:

• Big – a bet on the card to be 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K
• Small – a bet on the card to be 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, A
• Odd – a bet on the card to be A, 3, 5, 9, J, K
• Even – a bet on the card to be 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, Q

It is possible to bet any of these on either positions. Furthermore, it is also possible to bet on these side bets for the Dragon and Tiger positions simultaneously. For all of these side bets, any 7 instantly loses the bet. Any winning side bet pays 1:1.

Furthermore, you can also test your luck using various betting systems that have an almost 50/50 chance of winning. A few examples of these betting systems are:

• The Martingale strategy – the aim of the strategy is to double your bet after every loss. In doing so, you recoup back all of your losses and make a small profit after a win.
• The Reverse Martingale strategy – the aim of this strategy is to double your bet after every win. By choosing to use the Reverse Martingale, you can capitalize on a winning streak.
• The Fibonacci strategy – the aim of this strategy is to follow the Fibonacci sequence. It is similar to the Martingale as you increase your stake after a loss, but not as demanding on your bankroll as the Martingale.
