Dragon Tiger Odds Compared: DragonTiger.gg and Wizard of Odds
Wizard of Odds publishes house-edge analyses of casino games, and its Dragon Tiger page is the one we check our own figures against. This page sets every Dragon Tiger figure that page prints, as we read it on October 12, 2026, beside the same figure from our own exact calculation, and says where the two agree and where they do not.
The short answer: 43 of 43 figures agree to the last digit they print.
DragonTiger.gg is not affiliated with Wizard of Odds. It is not connected to, endorsed by or reviewed by Wizard of Odds or its author. Their figures below are quoted from their page with a link to it; ours are computed from the fresh-shoe fractions on our Odds & Payouts page every time this page is built, so nothing in our column is typed in.
No figure differs. 25 of the 43 pairs are shown below; the other 18 are the remaining entries of the same tables (losing sides, complements and the other payouts), and they agree too.
Dragon and Tiger
Their return table assumes eight decks and half the stake lost on a tie, the same rules as our default.

Tie

Why Two Matching Calculations Matter
Dragon Tiger is simple enough that its figures can be counted rather than estimated. An eight-deck shoe is 416 cards; two of them make 86,320 unordered pairs; 6,448 pairs share a rank, 1,456 share rank and suit, and the remaining 79,872 split exactly in half between the two sides. Every probability and house edge on both sites follows from those counts. Two sites that count correctly must get the same answer, and when they do, each one is a check on the other.
That is also why a figure that differed would matter. It would mean a different rule assumption, a different rounding, or an error on one side, and the reader would deserve to know which. In our reading of October 12, 2026 there was none to explain.
One place where the two sites go further than each other: Wizard of Odds works the Tie bet at five payouts and the Deltin six-deck case, and names the studios whose rules it describes. Our calculator lets you change the deck count from one to eight or an infinite shoe, the Tie payout to anything a table offers, and the tie rule, and it prices the Suited Tie and the Red, Black, Odd and Even bets at each studio's payout. Where a studio does not state its tie rule, we publish both edges, which Wizard of Odds' single table does not need to.

Looking for a Free Dragon Tiger Game?
Both sites have one. Wizard of Odds links a practice game from its Dragon Tiger page. Ours is the Dragon Tiger Simulator: a real shuffled shoe, four betting spots, selectable rules, pretend chips, and a classroom mode that runs up to 100,000 rounds so you can watch the figures on this page emerge. Neither involves money.
