Dragon Tiger review
Dragon Tiger: RTP, odds and how it works
Dragon Tiger is Evolution's two-card game from 8 decks: one card to Dragon, one to Tiger, and the higher card wins.
Aces are low and Kings high. Evolution launched it in 2018.
Our verdict: Back Dragon or Tiger for 96.27%. A tie takes half of those bets; the Tie and Suited Tie cost far more.
