Lightning Dragon Tiger
Game Objective
Lightning Dragon Tiger is a super-fast and simple two-card game with Lightning multipliers. The game's aim is to predict which of the two cards dealt will be higher in value — the Dragon or the Tiger. Players may also bet whether the Dragon and Tiger cards dealt will be of the same value and, therefore, a Tie. A Lightning suit with a multiplier is randomly chosen in each round, giving a chance to multiply payouts on a winning hand.
Game Rules
The game is played with eight standard 52-card decks (excluding Jokers). The card values are as follows:
- Ace counts as 1, being the lowest, followed by 2 and so on
- King is the highest (so, A-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-J-Q-K).
Betting Phase
Place a bet on Dragon, Tiger, Tie, or Suited Tie.
A 20% fee will be added to each player's total bet, and is displayed in the user interface. For example, if you place a bet of $5, a 20% fee, which is $1, will be added, resulting in a total bet of $6.
Lightning Round
After the betting time is closed, the Lightning round occurs. In each Lightning round, a Lightning suit (Clubs, Hearts, Spades or Diamonds) is randomly chosen. All cards of this suit are then assigned a random Lightning multiplier (2x, 3x, 5x, or 8x). The card of the Lightning suit and its multiplier is displayed in the user interface.
Main Game
After the Lightning round, the dealer will deal one card to the Dragon and one card to the Tiger. During dealing, the card of the Lightning suit is highlighted in the user interface if a matching card has been dealt to make the player aware that there is a chance for multiplier winnings.
Game Outcome
If the player has placed a bet on a winning hand, the payout is according to the payout table. If the player's winning hand includes one matching card of a Lightning suit, the winnings will be multiplied accordingly. If there are two matching cards of the Lightning suit in a result of a Tie or Suited Tie, the winning are multiplied again.
The highest card wins. If Dragon and Tiger cards match in value, it's a Tie, and half your main bet (Dragon/Tiger) is returned. If Dragon and Tiger cards match in value and suit, it's a Suited Tie, and half your main bet is returned. The fee for the pushed Dragon/Tiger bets will not be returned.
Your initial bet will be added on top of your winnings. If the winning hand does not contain the revealed card of the Lightning suit, then the regular payout is applied. See the "Payouts" section for detailed payout information.

Your payout depends on the type of bet placed.

In the Immersive view, the TIMER informs you of the duration of the betting time. After it expires, betting is closed and no more bets are accepted.
In the classic view, the TRAFFIC LIGHTS tell you the current status in the game round by informing you when you can bet (GREEN light), when betting time is nearly over (YELLOW light), and when betting time has expired (RED light).
PLACE YOUR BETS
The CHIP DISPLAY allows you to select the value of each chip you wish to bet. Only chips of denominations that can be covered by your current balance will be enabled.
Once you have selected a chip, place your bet by simply clicking/tapping the appropriate bet spot on the game table. Each time you click/tap the bet spot, the amount of your bet increases by the value of the selected chip or up to the maximum limit for the type of bet you have selected. Once you have bet the maximum limit, no additional funds will be accepted for that bet, and a message will appear above your bet to notify you that you have bet the maximum.
NOTE: Please do not minimize your browser or open any other tab in your browser while betting time remains, and you have placed bets on the table. Such actions may be interpreted as leaving the game, and your bets will therefore be declined for that particular game round.
The REPEAT button allows you to repeat all bets from the previous game round. This button is only available before the first chip is placed.
The DOUBLE (x2) button becomes available after you have placed any bet. Each click/tap doubles all your bets up to the maximum limit. Note that you must have a sufficient account balance to double ALL your placed bets.
The UNDO button removes the last bet you placed.
You can click/tap the UNDO button repeatedly to remove bets, one by one, in the reverse order in which they were placed. You can clear all your bets by holding the UNDO button.
The TOTAL BET indicator displays the total amount of all bets placed in the current round.

Scorecards
Dragon Tiger streaks and trends for either the Dragon or the Tiger using a particular shoe are recorded in various scoreboards. These pictorial representations of past round results and other statistics regarding the current shoe may be of help to you in predicting the results of future rounds.
The BEAD ROAD and BIG ROAD display the results of each past round, while the Big Eye Road, Small Road and Cockroach Road display patterns derived from the BIG ROAD.
Roads and shoe statistics are always cleared when a new shoe is introduced.
BEAD ROAD
Each cell in the BEAD ROAD represents the result of a past round. The result of the earliest round is recorded in the upper left corner. Read the column downwards all the way to the bottom; then start at the top of the adjacent column to the right and so forth. A solid red cell indicates a Dragon win. A solid yellow cell represents a Tiger win. A solid green cell represents a Tie. A cell for the game result that was impacted by the Lightning multiplier is highlighted.
You can change the Bead Road display from English to Simplified Chinese or Score Mode by clicking/tapping it anywhere.
BIG ROAD
In the BIG ROAD, the result of the earliest round is recorded in the upper left corner.
A new column is created each time the Dragon's winning streak changes in favor of the Tiger, or vice versa.
A cell outlined in red indicates a Dragon win. A cell outlined in yellow indicates a Tiger win.
A cell for the game result that was impacted by the Lightning multiplier is highlighted.
A Tie is recorded as a green line through the cell for the preceding round. If the first round is a Tie, the green line will appear first, and the red or yellow outline will appear around the line once the Dragon or Tiger wins a round.
If there are two or more consecutive tie rounds, the number on line will show the number of ties.
DERIVED ROADS
For the true Dragon Tiger enthusiast, the Big Eye Road, Small Road, and Cockroach Road are included to display patterns derived from past results recorded in the BIG ROAD. The Big Eye Road uses outlined circles, the Small Road uses solid circles, and the Cockroach Road uses slashes. However, in these derived roads, the colors red and yellow do not correspond to Dragon and Tiger wins, and there is no way to discern ties. In derived roads, red entries are a sign of repetition, whereas yellow entries signal a more erratic, "choppy" shoe.
The derived roads do not start at the very beginning of the shoe. They start with the hand following the first hand in the second, third and fourth columns of the BIG ROAD. Once a derived road starts, an additional red or yellow symbol is added after every round.
SHOE STATISTICS
The following statistics based on the current shoe are displayed for you:
# — the number of completed rounds thus far.
Dragon — The number of Dragon wins thus far.
Tiger — The number of Tiger wins thus far.
Tie — the number of Tie rounds thus far.
ROAD PROBING TABLE
The Road PROBING Table displays the icon that will be added to the three derived roads if the next round is won by the Dragon or the Tiger. Click the Dragon (D) or Tiger (T) button to see the icon that will be added in the roads if the next round is won by the Dragon or the Tiger.

Error Handling
If there is an error in the game, system, or game procedure, the game round will be temporarily paused while the game host notifies the service manager. You and other players will be notified via Chat, or by an on-screen pop-up message, that the issue is being investigated. If the manager can immediately resolve the error, the game round will continue as normal. If immediate resolution is not possible, the game round will be canceled, and the initial bets will be refunded to all the players who participated in the game round.
Disconnection Policy
If you are disconnected from a game round, any placed bets remain valid and are settled in your absence. Upon reconnecting, you can view the bet outcomes in the History window.
Shuffling
Gameplay continues until the cut card is dealt. Subsequently, the cards are shuffled by a dealer or a shuffler.
If a shuffle table is available, then two shoes with two sets of playing cards are used at the table. In this case, the dealer swaps the shoes, and the shuffle is performed by a shuffler at the shuffling table while the dealer continues to host the game round.

Multi-Game Play
If you enjoy non-stop action, you can join more than one game table — then view and play them simultaneously, all in the same browser window!
After you have joined at least one game table, click on LOBBY. In the lobby or game, click the +TABLE button associated with that table to join it. Certain tables may be unavailable for multi-game play and will therefore not display a +TABLE button.
TABLE
After you have joined multiple tables, you will be able to resize your browser window as a whole, but you will not be able to resize each game table window separately.
You can exit any table without affecting your presence at other tables you have joined. To exit a table, click the X button.
Please note:
- You will automatically exit a table if you join the same table through a different device/browser.
- If you click directly on a table icon instead of the +TABLE button, you will merely switch tables instead of joining the chosen table in addition to the table you joined previously.
We kindly advise you to join only as many tables as your screen can accommodate while still allowing you to place bets deliberately and accurately.
