One card. Two sides. Pure adrenaline. Dragon and Tiger at phking is the live casino game that Filipino players keep coming back to — simple rules, lightning-fast rounds, and real dealers streaming live 24/7.
About the Game
Dragon and Tiger is one of the most popular live card games across Asia — and at phking, it's become a firm favourite among Filipino players from Manila to Mindanao. The concept is beautifully simple: the dealer draws one card for the Dragon position and one card for the Tiger position. You bet on which side gets the higher card. That's it. No complicated hand combinations, no strategy charts to memorise — just pure, fast-paced excitement.
Each round at phking takes less than 30 seconds from shuffle to result, making Dragon and Tiger one of the fastest live casino games available. Whether you're squeezing in a few rounds during your lunch break in Makati or settling in for a long session on a Friday night in Cebu, the pace of the game keeps things fresh and engaging throughout.
The game uses a standard 52-card deck (no jokers), and card values follow traditional rankings — Ace is the lowest, King is the highest. Suits do not affect the main Dragon or Tiger outcome, though they come into play for certain side bets available at phking's live tables.
Betting Options
phking's Dragon and Tiger tables offer more than just the main Dragon or Tiger bet. Here's a full breakdown of every wager available.
Bet that the Dragon card will be higher than the Tiger card. The most straightforward wager and the one most players start with. House edge is around 3.73%.
Bet that the Tiger card will be higher than the Dragon card. Identical odds and house edge to the Dragon bet — purely a matter of preference and gut feel.
Bet that both Dragon and Tiger will draw cards of equal value. The payout is generous at 8:1, but ties are rare — occurring roughly once every 18 rounds on average.
The rarest outcome — both cards are the same value AND the same suit. The 50:1 payout makes this the most exciting long-shot bet on the phking Dragon and Tiger table.
Bet that the Dragon or Tiger card will be a high-value card (8 through King). A popular side bet among phking regulars who prefer more frequent wins.
Bet that the Dragon or Tiger card will be a low-value card (Ace through 6). Pairs well with a Big bet on the opposite side for a balanced approach.
Bet on whether the Dragon or Tiger card will be an odd or even number. A fun side bet that adds another layer of excitement to every round at phking.
Step by Step
New to Dragon and Tiger? Don't worry — if you've ever played a card game in your life, you'll pick this up in under a minute. Here's how a typical round plays out at phking.
Head to the phking Login page and sign in to your account. If you're new, registration takes less than two minutes and is completely free. Remember, you must be 21 years old or above to play.
Deposit using GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, or Metrobank. The minimum deposit is ₱100 — enough to get several rounds of Dragon and Tiger going right away.
Navigate to the phking Casino lobby and select any available Dragon and Tiger live table. Multiple tables run simultaneously, so there's always a seat waiting for you.
During the betting window (usually 15–20 seconds), click on Dragon, Tiger, Tie, or any side bet you want. Adjust your chip size to match your preferred stake.
The live dealer draws one card for Dragon and one for Tiger. The higher card wins. Winnings are credited to your phking account instantly — ready to bet again or withdraw.
When you're ready to call it a day, withdraw your winnings via GCash or PayMaya in minutes. phking processes most withdrawals in under 10 minutes.
Start with the main Dragon or Tiger bet while you get comfortable with the pace of the game. The 1:1 payout keeps your bankroll stable and lets you enjoy more rounds. Once you're feeling confident, explore the side bets — especially the Big/Small options, which offer a nice balance between frequency and payout. Avoid chasing the Tie bet every round; while the 8:1 payout is tempting, the house edge on that wager is significantly higher than the main bets.
