NinoGaming Dragon Tiger Rules, Odds and the Suited Tie

NinoGaming Dragon Tiger asks one question per round: which of two single cards ranks higher. The catch is the tie, because a Dragon or Tiger bet loses half its stake when both cards share a rank. That rule produces the whole house edge on those bets, and the sections below price it. Edges here are Wizard of Odds’ eight-deck figures, and payouts are as Evolution’s site describes them.

The third game sits on the Poker tab, so a different studio runs it, and this page’s rules and edges are for the two Evolution tables. Names do not say how a tie settles, so the help screen decides.

How a Dragon Tiger round runs

1. Stake chips on the Dragon, Tiger or Tie spot while betting is open.
2. The dealer reveals a single card on each side.
3. Rank decides: the ace is the lowest card and the king the highest.
4. Suits play no part in the Dragon, Tiger or Tie bets.
5. Equal ranks are a tie: Dragon and Tiger bets lose half, and Tie bets win.

There is no third card and no choice after the chips are down.

Dragon Tiger odds, bet by bet

The 8 to 1 and 3.73% figures are Wizard of Odds’. The 11 to 1 row also matches Wizard of Odds, and you can check it by hand: with eight decks, once the first card is out, 31 of the remaining 415 share its rank, and 12 x 31 / 415 - 1 works out to a 10.36% cost.

What the suited tie is

For a suited tie the two cards must agree on rank and on suit, a 7-in-415 chance with eight decks. Evolution’s site describes it as a separate bet paying 50 to 1, next to a Tie that pays 11 to 1 whatever the suit. Even at 50 to 1, the suited tie costs 13.98%, higher than the plain Tie at 11 to 1.

If a table pays 8 to 1 on the Tie, the cost jumps to 32.77%. Read the line before you bet.

A worked example in pesos

You place PHP 300 on Tiger and PHP 60 on Tie at 11 to 1.

1. Tiger card higher: Tiger wins PHP 300 and the Tie chip loses PHP 60.
2. Dragon card higher: both lose, PHP 360 in total.
3. Ranks match: Tiger returns PHP 150 and loses PHP 150, and the Tie chip wins PHP 660.

The 3.73% edge costs about PHP 11.19 on the PHP 300 Tiger chip, and the 10.36% edge about PHP 6.22 on the PHP 60 Tie chip. The smaller bet is the costlier per peso.

Dragon Tiger against baccarat and other games
