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 2 beads. Same depth → red (=).

  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 2 beads. Same depth → red (=).

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

Small Road · Mark #1

Column 3 has 1 bead. Column 1 has 2 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).

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

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 3, the one that just finished, with Column 1.

Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythIn Black Hawk CO (Monarch Casino Resort Spa Black Hawk) or Vancouver BC (River Rock Casino Resort), switching from a 5% commission table to a no-commission bar-7 or Super 6 table alters the underlying card distribution.
TruthUnder both Colorado Limited Gaming Control Commission and British Columbia Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch, commission rules only modify how winning Banker wagers are settled on specific totals such as three-card 7 or winning 6, leaving the 8-deck draw probabilities untouched.
MythOn TCS John Huxley & Light & Wonder Displays in Black Hawk CO and Angel Eye & TCS John Huxley Ora Displays in Vancouver BC, red marks on derived roads indicate Banker and blue marks indicate Player.
TruthAcross DEN, YVR, and SEN, derived-road red (=) always indicates repeating Big Road column structure and blue (≠) indicates a break in symmetry, never Banker or Player.
