Step-by-Step Mark Proofs (Rule 1 & Rule 2)
Big Eye Boy (Lookback 1) Verified Mark #3

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

  1. Column 3 goes down to Row 2, so use Rule 2: look 1 column 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.

Small Road (Lookback 2) Verified Mark #3

This bead is at Row 4. Column 1 stopped at Row 1, more than one row above → red (=).

  1. Column 3 goes down to Row 4, so use Rule 2: look 2 columns back, at Column 1.
  2. Column 1 stopped at Row 1, more than one row above → 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.

Cockroach Pig (Lookback 3) Verified Mark #3

Column 6 has 1 bead. Column 3 has 4 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).

  1. Column 7 starts, so use Rule 1: compare Column 6 with Column 3, 3 columns further back.
  2. Column 6 has 1 bead. Column 3 has 4 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 6, the one that just finished, with Column 3.

SCOREBOARD & LOOKBACK VERIFICATION AT LIVE CASINO MARYLAND

How Live Casino Maryland's 5-Road Scoreboard Tracks Streaks and Derived Marks

Digital 5-road scoreboards across the High-Limit Salon and Orchid Patio track every Big Road column and derived-road mark, with player card squeezing available on Midi-Baccarat tables.

On our 42-hand sample shoe for Live Casino Maryland (24 Banker wins, 17 Player wins, 1 Ties across 21 Big Road columns), the locked engine verifies Big Eye Boy (Lookback 1) Verified Mark #3: "This bead is at Row 2. Column 2 has a bead at Row 2 too → red (=)." If a Hand #43 were dealt next on this board, the Ask Banker probe would show Big Eye Boy RED, Small Road RED, and Cockroach Pig RED, while Ask Player would invert every mark. Remember that scoreboards log completed hands and never alter the probabilities of the remaining cards in the 8-deck shoe.

Myth vs. Truth

MythOutdoor-patio Midi-Baccarat tables at Orchid Gaming use different third-card rules than the indoor high-limit room.
TruthEvery table at Live! Casino Maryland—indoor or patio—follows the exact same MLGCA-approved Punto Banco drawing rules.
