Dragon tiger is a card game that is similar to hi-lo. When playing, one competitor will be the “dragon” and the other will be the “tiger”, and anyone betting on the outcome has the option of backing either the dragon or the tiger.

Ultimately, the winner can receive an even-money payout if they have received a higher card than their competitor. When betting on the dragon or tiger, the house edge will be 3.73%.
