Trivia

It was initially planned for the series to be set in Las Vegas, at a fictional themed hotel/casino where the Masters trained and competed for high stakes. Accordingly, their Dragon Belt-status would determine the odds and subsequent payoffs (5 to 6, 7 to 4, 3 to 8, 9 to 2, and so on) except during Dragon Star Matches (in which the odds would be 11 to 10). This idea was promptly nixed, however, out of concern that the show might encourage gambling among young people. See more
