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 (=).

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.

Comparing Matsui Gaming LED Scoreboards (RNO) with Shufflemaster i-Score Plus Boards (SAN) alongside Angel Eye & Matsui Multi-Road LED Displays (MNL) confirms that derived-road colors track structural regularity rather than side outcomes.

Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythIn Reno Tahoe (Peppermill Resort Spa Casino) or San Diego CA (Sycuan 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 Nevada Gaming Control Board and California Tribal-State Compact & CGCC, 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 Matsui Gaming LED Scoreboards in Reno Tahoe and Shufflemaster i-Score Plus Boards in San Diego CA, red marks on derived roads indicate Banker and blue marks indicate Player.
TruthAcross RNO, SAN, and MNL, derived-road red (=) always indicates repeating Big Road column structure and blue (≠) indicates a break in symmetry, never Banker or Player.
