Long Hu at eBET: Why Dragon Tiger Is So Quick to Pick Up

Dragon Tiger, or Long Hu, is one of the simplest card games in any casino. There are two hands, Dragon and Tiger, and whichever is dealt the higher card wins. eBET runs it as a live dealer table.

Dragon versus Tiger, card by card

Each round the dealer places one card face up on the Dragon side and one on the Tiger side. That's the entire deal. Nobody draws again and nobody makes a decision after the cards are out.

You bet on which side will show the higher card, or on the two cards tying. Suits play no part. It's a straight comparison of rank, with the lower card losing.

Because payouts and the handling of ties can differ between providers, open the rules panel at the eBET table before your first bet and check what a tie does to a Dragon or Tiger stake.

Speed: the real feature of eBET Long Hu

This simplicity and speed are exactly why Dragon Tiger became a favourite with both players and casinos. A round takes seconds. There is nothing to learn beyond the rank of the cards, so a newcomer can sit down and follow along straight away.

The same speed works against you if you aren't paying attention. Short rounds mean many more bets per hour than at a slower table game, and the house edge applies to every one of them.

Keeping a Long Hu session under control

A few habits help:

• Pick a fixed stake per round and stick to it.
• Decide in advance how many rounds, or how much money, the session will last.
• Ignore streaks on the scoreboard. Each round is a new pair of cards.

If that sounds like your kind of game, play Long Hu at an eBET live table. The provider's other tables, including baccarat and Sic Bo, are in our eBET live casino section.
