Across New Orleans, Lake Charles, Kinder, Baton Rouge, Bossier City, and Shreveport, New Orleans, Lake Charles, Kinder, Baton Rouge, and Bossier City 5-road boards display the Bead Plate, the 6-row Big Road, and the three lookback grids (Big Eye Boy, Small Road, and Cockroach Pig) for Louisiana (LA) players. On this 40-hand Louisiana trajectory (21 Banker wins, 18 Player wins, and 1 ties across 28 LA columns), LGCB-compliant boards generate 36 Big Eye Boy marks, 34 Small Road marks, and 32 Cockroach Pig marks.
