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

This bead is at Row 3. Column 1 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠).

  1. Column 2 goes down to Row 3, so use Rule 2: look 1 column back, at Column 1.
  2. Column 1 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠).

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.

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.

SCOREBOARD & SHOE PROCEDURES

Scoreboard Hardware, Derived-Road Symmetry & Shoe Protocols in Downtown LV and Montreal QC

Hardware differences between Genesis Gaming Bravo Pit Displays in Las Vegas, Nevada and TCS John Huxley Bilingual French-English Displays in Montreal, Quebec affect screen layout and player-banked collection vs house-banked rules callouts, yet Small Road (column 3 row 2) and Cockroach Pig (column 4 row 2) math stays invariant.

Every player-banked collection vs house-banked rules distinction between Downtown Las Vegas (Golden Nugget Carson Tower Pit) and Montreal & Loto-Québec Market (Salon Hautes Mises Montréal) reflects Nevada Gaming Control Board and Régie des alcools, des courses et des jeux surveillance directives rather than any change in 8-deck draw math.

  • Confirm Downtown LV (EZ Bar-7 Push) vs. Montreal QC (RACJ 5% & Sup6) settlement placards before placing a Banker wager at Circa Resort & Casino or Casino de Montréal Île Notre-Dame.
  • Read Genesis Gaming Bravo Pit Displays (DLV) and TCS John Huxley Bilingual French-English Displays (YUL) derived roads accurately: red (=) marks repeating Big Road symmetry and blue (≠) marks a symmetry break.
  • Verify statutory floor entry age (21+ in Downtown LV, 18+ in Montreal QC) and carry government photo ID for cage transactions.
Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythIn Downtown LV (Circa Resort & Casino) or Montreal QC (Casino de Montréal Île Notre-Dame), flat per-hand collection fees in California-style cardrooms have the same percentage cost across every bet size.
TruthUnder both Nevada Gaming Control Board and Régie des alcools, des courses et des jeux, a fixed dollar collection fee represents a heavy percentage drag on small wagers while shrinking proportionally as wager size increases, unlike a flat percentage vig.
MythOn Genesis Gaming Bravo Pit Displays in Downtown LV and TCS John Huxley Bilingual French-English Displays in Montreal QC, red marks on derived roads indicate Banker and blue marks indicate Player.
TruthAcross DLV, YUL, and LCH, derived-road red (=) always indicates repeating Big Road column structure and blue (≠) indicates a break in symmetry, never Banker or Player.
