A two-card baccarat stripped to one decision: Dragon or Tiger, higher card wins — a live-casino staple popular with Indian audiences.

Origin & popularity in India

A Cambodian-origin casino game that found a second home in Indian-facing live studios thanks to its Andar Bahar-like simplicity.

Game mechanics

One card to Dragon, one to Tiger; the higher card wins, with a Tie side bet. No decisions after the bet.

Variations

Regional popularity

An online-studio phenomenon rather than a street tradition; popular countrywide among live-casino audiences.

Legal considerations

Pure chance; money play falls under gambling prohibitions and the federal 2025 online ban.
