Step-by-Step Mark Proofs (Rule 1 & Rule 2)
Big Eye Boy · Mark #1

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

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

Big Eye Boy · Mark #2

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

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

Common table reading watchout: Thinking "no bead at this row" means blue. It is blue only when Column 2 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 San Diego CA and Indiana River

Auditing Shufflemaster i-Score Plus Boards in San Diego & Southern California Tribal against Genesis Bravo & Angel Eye Monitors in Indiana Regional & Riverboat Market shows that mini-felt vs midi-squeeze protocols settings never alter how optical shoes or keypad terminals score Big Eye Boy, Small Road, or Cockroach Pig.

Whether seated at Sycuan Casino Resort ($100 to $3,000 high-limit room) or Horseshoe Indianapolis ($100 to $2,500 high-limit room), every 8-deck shoe cut at 14 cards from the end of the 8-deck shoe (SAN) or 14 cards from the plastic cut wedge (IND) deals independent hands governed by the fixed tableau.

  • Confirm San Diego CA (Tribal & Drop) vs. Indiana River (IGC 5% & EZ) settlement placards before placing a Banker wager at Sycuan Casino Resort or Horseshoe Indianapolis.
  • Read Shufflemaster i-Score Plus Boards (SAN) and Genesis Bravo & Angel Eye Monitors (IND) derived roads accurately: red (=) marks repeating Big Road symmetry and blue (≠) marks a symmetry break.
  • Verify statutory floor entry age (21+ in San Diego CA, 21+ in Indiana River) and carry government photo ID for cage transactions.
Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythIn San Diego CA (Sycuan Casino Resort) or Indiana River (Horseshoe Indianapolis), peeling or bending face-down cards on a midi-baccarat table gives seated players control over the third-card draw.
TruthUnder both California Tribal-State Compact & CGCC and Indiana Gaming Commission, card squeezing is purely ceremonial theater; the cards are predetermined by the shuffle and cut, and statutory drawing tableaux govern every third card automatically.
MythOn Shufflemaster i-Score Plus Boards in San Diego CA and Genesis Bravo & Angel Eye Monitors in Indiana River, red marks on derived roads indicate Banker and blue marks indicate Player.
TruthAcross SAN, IND, and CJU, derived-road red (=) always indicates repeating Big Road column structure and blue (≠) indicates a break in symmetry, never Banker or Player.
