Dragon Tiger Side Bet Scams

How it works

Exploitation of side bets in Dragon Tiger (a simplified baccarat variant popular in Asia) where payout structures or dealing procedures create vulnerabilities. Dragon Tiger offers side bets like Suited Tie, Big/Small, and Odd/ven. Cheaters may collude with dealers to manipulate the deal order, exploit shuffle tracking in the single-card format, or use electronic devices to predict outcomes based on known card sequences.

On the record

Asian casinos regularly report attempts to exploit Dragon Tiger’s simple structure. The game’s popularity in Cambodia, Macau, and Philippines makes it a frequent target.
