On our 42-hand sample shoe for Pechanga Resort Casino (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: "Column 2 has 3 beads. Column 1 has 1 bead. Different depth → blue (≠)." If a Hand #43 were dealt next on this board, the Ask Banker probe would show Big Eye Boy BLUE, Small Road BLUE, 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.
