Qílín Royale™ — conquer the guardians, define the spread

Qílín Royale begins with two simple opposing Guardian battles. Players may choose either battle as a standalone high-card comparison, or select one Guardian from each pair to activate Dual Resolution. Single Battle offers immediate comparison play, with optional Tie and Suited Tie propositions.

Win both battles in Dual Resolution and the two winning cards become the boundaries of the Qílín Royale Spread. The wagers move forward — four live units — and a final Qílín card resolves the outcome. That preserves the simplicity of the opening game while adding progression, exposure and tension for players who choose both battles.

The Game 

The player may place a wager on Dragon or Tiger, Phoenix or Turtle — or play both Guardian battles with two equal wagers.

Each battle pays 1:1. If an opening battle results in a rank Tie, the wager is divided equally between Player and House.

A player who plays only one battle completes the round on that comparison. Optional Tie and Suited Tie wagers are available, paying 15:1 and 95:1 respectively.

If both Guardian battles are played and won, the two wagers are not banked. Each winning unit has become two units, creating four live units that progress automatically into Qílín Royale.

The two winning Guardian cards define the lower and upper boundaries of the Qílín Royale Spread. A Qílín card is then drawn to determine the outcome within the boundaries and spread established.

If the Qílín card lands strictly between the two boundaries, Standard Qílín Royale pays 3:1. If both boundaries are Guardians and the Qílín card is another Guardian positioned between them, Guardian Qílín Royale pays 17:1.

If no rank exists between the two qualifying cards, the result is No Spread and Player and House divide the live value 50/50. Boundary and outside-spread results lose.

Play both Guardian battles, conquer both, and two original units become four live units progressing into Qílín Royale.

Dual Tie

Qílín Royale includes one optional feature wager for Dual Resolution: Dual Tie — 4.5:1.

Dual Tie wins whenever the game produces a 50/50 settlement between Player and House: Dragon/Tiger rank Tie — Phoenix/Turtle rank Tie — Qílín Royale No Spread.

A simple proposition built directly around the settlement mechanics of the game.
