On our 42-hand sample shoe for MGM Grand (23 Banker wins, 18 Player wins, 1 Ties across 19 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.
