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

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 Washington St (ilani Casino Resort & Palace Casino) or Niagara ON (Fallsview 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 Washington State Gambling Commission and Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, 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 Galaxy Gaming & Shufflemaster Trend Monitors in Washington St and TCS John Huxley & Angel Eye Smart Shoes in Niagara ON, red marks on derived roads indicate Banker and blue marks indicate Player.
TruthAcross SEA, YYZ, and YUL, derived-road red (=) always indicates repeating Big Road column structure and blue (≠) indicates a break in symmetry, never Banker or Player.
