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 4 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 4 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.

Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythIn Vancouver BC (River Rock Casino Resort) or Tampa Bay (Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa), pressing the Banker Ask or Player Ask probe button reveals which side is favored to win the upcoming deal.
TruthUnder both British Columbia Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch and Seminole Tribal Gaming Commission, next-hand probe buttons merely preview whether a hypothetical Banker or Player win would extend or break the current Big Road column symmetry across the three derived roads.
MythOn Angel Eye & TCS John Huxley Ora Displays in Vancouver BC and Light & Wonder i-Score & Angel Eye Shoes in Tampa Bay, red marks on derived roads indicate Banker and blue marks indicate Player.
TruthAcross YVR, TPA, and ALB, derived-road red (=) always indicates repeating Big Road column structure and blue (≠) indicates a break in symmetry, never Banker or Player.
