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 Tampa Bay (Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa) or Oklahoma Tribe (WinStar World Casino and Resort), peeling or bending face-down cards on a midi-baccarat table gives seated players control over the third-card draw.
TruthUnder both Seminole Tribal Gaming Commission and Chickasaw & Choctaw Nation Gaming Commissions, 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 Light & Wonder i-Score & Angel Eye Shoes in Tampa Bay and Shufflemaster i-Score Reader Displays in Oklahoma Tribe, red marks on derived roads indicate Banker and blue marks indicate Player.
TruthAcross TPA, OKC, and IND, derived-road red (=) always indicates repeating Big Road column structure and blue (≠) indicates a break in symmetry, never Banker or Player.
