Verified by calculateAllRoads() on SHOE-1A-18.
Computed via getNextRoadPredictions() at the end of the shoe.
An 8-deck shoe starts with 416 cards. After burning the top indicator card plus its point value (typically 2 to 11 cards burned) and placing the cut card 14 to 16 cards from the bottom, roughly 390 to 398 playable cards remain. Because an average baccarat hand uses 4.94 cards, a typical shoe deals 70 to 78 hands. When a shoe deals an above-average share of 4-card hands (Naturals and standing 6/7 hands), the deal stretches to 82 hands.
Across 82 hands (46 Banker wins, 36 Player wins), the Big Road spans 35 columns—testing horizontal scoreboard width and showing why our Static SIGNAL Page Kit renders full-shoe SVG boards without clipping late columns.
