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 3 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 3 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 (=).

SCOREBOARD & SHOE PROCEDURES

Scoreboard Hardware, Derived-Road Symmetry & Shoe Protocols in Cebu Island and Tampa Bay

Whether viewing LT Game & Angel Eye Digital Scoreboards in Cebu City & Lapu-Lapu, Philippines (CEB) or Light & Wonder i-Score & Angel Eye Shoes in Tampa, Florida (TPA), Big Eye Boy compares column k-1, Small Road compares k-2, and Cockroach Pig compares k-3.

Whether seated at NUSTAR Resort & Casino Cebu (PHP 5,000 to 200,000 Fili VIP salon) or Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa ($100 to $10,000 high-limit salon), every 8-deck shoe cut at 14 cards from the back of the 8-deck shoe (CEB) or 14 cards from the rear of the 8-deck shoe (TPA) deals independent hands governed by the fixed tableau.

  • Confirm Cebu Island (Cebu Super 6) vs. Tampa Bay (EZ & 5% Salon) settlement placards before placing a Banker wager at NUSTAR Resort & Casino Cebu or Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa.
  • Read LT Game & Angel Eye Digital Scoreboards (CEB) and Light & Wonder i-Score & Angel Eye Shoes (TPA) derived roads accurately: red (=) marks repeating Big Road symmetry and blue (≠) marks a symmetry break.
  • Verify statutory floor entry age (21+ in Cebu Island, 21+ in Tampa Bay) and carry government photo ID for cage transactions.
Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythIn Cebu Island (NUSTAR Resort & Casino Cebu) or Tampa Bay (Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa), high-limit salon privé tables use different third-card drawing rules than $15 or $25 main-floor mini-baccarat tables.
TruthUnder both Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) and Seminole Tribal Gaming Commission, whether a hand is wagered at a main-floor minimum or a private salon maximum, the Tableau of Drawing Rules and 8-deck shoe math remain identical.
MythOn LT Game & Angel Eye Digital Scoreboards in Cebu Island and Light & Wonder i-Score & Angel Eye Shoes in Tampa Bay, red marks on derived roads indicate Banker and blue marks indicate Player.
TruthAcross CEB, TPA, and KWL, derived-road red (=) always indicates repeating Big Road column structure and blue (≠) indicates a break in symmetry, never Banker or Player.
