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

This bead is at Row 3. Column 2 stopped at Row 1, more than one row above → red (=).

  1. Column 3 goes down to Row 3, so use Rule 2: look 1 column back, at Column 2.
  2. Column 2 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 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 2, 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 2, 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 5 has 1 bead. Column 2 has 1 bead. Same depth → red (=).

  1. Column 6 starts, so use Rule 1: compare Column 5 with Column 2, 3 columns further back.
  2. Column 5 has 1 bead. Column 2 has 1 bead. Same depth → red (=).

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 5, the one that just finished, with Column 2.

SCOREBOARD & LOOKBACK VERIFICATION AT PARX CASINO

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

Under 58 Pa. Code § 629.9, Parx's Midibaccarat tables allow seated players to handle and squeeze the cards while PGCB-inspected 5-road scoreboards track every hand.

On our 42-hand sample shoe for Parx Casino (23 Banker wins, 18 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 3. Column 2 stopped at Row 1, more than one row above → 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 BLUE, 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.
