The game is simple, using two cards from 8 decks, one on the dragon and one on the tiger, which are located on opposite sides of the table. As a player, you can bet on which position receives a higher card. In the game, K is the highest and A is the lowest. You even get paid if you win.

The game involves betting on two main symbols  a dragon or a tiger  each representing a card dealt in the game. The player bets on whichever card has the higher value or if the result is a tie. In Dragon Tiger, there are two cards in each round, one representing a dragon and the other a tiger.
