Big Eye Boy · Mark #1

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

SCOREBOARD & SHOE PROCEDURES

Scoreboard Hardware, Derived-Road Symmetry & Shoe Protocols in New Orleans and Indiana River

Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythIn New Orleans (Caesars New Orleans) or Indiana River (Horseshoe Indianapolis), switching from a 5% commission table to a no-commission bar-7 or Super 6 table alters the underlying card distribution.
TruthUnder both Louisiana Gaming Control Board and Indiana Gaming Commission, 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 Genesis Gaming & Shufflemaster Reader Boards in New Orleans and Genesis Bravo & Angel Eye Monitors in Indiana River, red marks on derived roads indicate Banker and blue marks indicate Player.
TruthAcross MSY, IND, and MIA, derived-road red (=) always indicates repeating Big Road column structure and blue (≠) indicates a break in symmetry, never Banker or Player.
