Step-by-Step Mark Proofs (Rule 1 & Rule 2)
Big Eye Boy · Mark #1

This bead is at Row 2. Column 1 has a bead at Row 2 too → red (=).

  1. Column 2 goes down to Row 2, so use Rule 2: look 1 column back, at Column 1.
  2. Column 1 has a bead at Row 2 too → red (=).

Common table reading watchout: Thinking "no bead at this row" means blue. It is blue only when Column 1 stopped exactly one row above this bead.

Big Eye Boy · Mark #2

Column 2 has 2 beads. Column 1 has 4 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).

  1. Column 3 starts, so use Rule 1: compare Column 2 with Column 1, 1 column further back.
  2. Column 2 has 2 beads. Column 1 has 4 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 2, the one that just finished, with Column 1.

Small Road · Mark #1

This bead is at Row 2. Column 1 has a bead at Row 2 too → red (=).

  1. Column 3 goes down to Row 2, so use Rule 2: look 2 columns back, at Column 1.
  2. Column 1 has a bead at Row 2 too → red (=).

Common table reading watchout: Thinking "no bead at this row" means blue. It is blue only when Column 1 stopped exactly one row above this bead.

Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythIn Atlantic City (Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa) or Indiana River (Horseshoe Indianapolis), clusters of Dragon 7, Panda 8, or Lucky 6 hits on the Bead Plate signal that another bonus payout is due soon.
TruthUnder both New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement and Indiana Gaming Commission, side-bet outcomes depend on exact multi-card totals in the remaining shoe and carry a substantially higher house advantage than main Banker or Player wagers.
MythOn TCS John Huxley Qorex & Ora Displays in Atlantic City and Genesis Bravo & Angel Eye Monitors in Indiana River, red marks on derived roads indicate Banker and blue marks indicate Player.
TruthAcross ACY, IND, and YUL, derived-road red (=) always indicates repeating Big Road column structure and blue (≠) indicates a break in symmetry, never Banker or Player.
