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

This bead is at Row 2. Column 2 has a bead at Row 2 too → red (=).

  1. Column 4 goes down to Row 2, so use Rule 2: look 2 columns back, at Column 2.
  2. Column 2 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 2 stopped exactly one row above this bead.

Cockroach Pig (Lookback 3) Verified Mark #2

Column 4 has 2 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Same depth → red (=).

  1. Column 5 starts, so use Rule 1: compare Column 4 with Column 1, 3 columns further back.
  2. Column 4 has 2 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Same depth → red (=).

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 4, the one that just finished, with Column 1.

01 · QC Regulatory Framework

RACJ Oversight for Quebec (QC #44)

Régie des alcools, des courses et des jeux (RACJ) oversees Quebec (QC) table pits under Act Respecting the Société des casinos du Québec CQLR c S-13.1, covering Montreal, Gatineau, Charlevoix, and Mont-Tremblant across Canada. Within QC Jurisdiction #44, RACJ monitors derived-road LED matrices and shoe shuffle verifications while enforcing a 18+ age threshold across Quebec.

On Quebec (QC) scoreboards in Montreal, Gatineau, Charlevoix, and Mont-Tremblant, RACJ monitors high-limit squeeze salons: Big Road hollow circles log QC Banker (B) or Player (P) coup winners, whereas QC Big Eye Boy, Small Road, and Cockroach Pig matrices record red (=) for repeating QC column depth or blue (≠) for QC depth breaks under Macau Rule 1 and 3-case Rule 2.

Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythA long run of red (=) marks on a Quebec (QC) display means Banker is favored next.
TruthRed (=) on QC derived roads means the Big Road pattern repeated; Quebec odds depend only on remaining cards.
MythPlayers in Montreal, Gatineau, Charlevoix, and Mont-Tremblant can make optional third-card draws on totals of 5 or 6.
TruthUnder Act Respecting the Société des casinos du Québec CQLR c S-13.1, all Quebec (RACJ) third-card draws follow the mandatory Punto Banco tableau.
