Dragon Tiger is extremely simple to play. Two cards are dealt: one to the Dragon betting position on the table, and one to the Tiger betting position. The betting position that gets the higher card wins. As the player, you place your bets on the Dragon, the Tiger or the Tie.

Stick to betting on the Dragon or Tiger for better odds. In Dragon Tiger, it is possible to gain a small advantage by keeping track of which cards are played, especially in decks with fewer cards. Pay attention to the suits played. This can sometimes help predict outcomes, especially in side bets based on suit.
