The roads help players quickly assess the history of the game, identify trends and attempt to predict future results. There are five standard roads: 1. The Big Road 2. Big Eye Boy (sometimes called “big eye road”) 3. The Small Road 4. The Cockroach Road (yes, cockroach road!) 5. The Bead Plate Pretty crazy names, huh? Each road uses colored symbols arranged in a rectangular grid of empty white squares called cells. The standard height of any road’s grid is six symbols. The width of any road is not very important and can be considered to go on indefinitely. Roads only record the current shoe. At the end of each shoe, the screen is cleared andnewroads are built fromscratch. On the right is an electronic baccarat display at the start of a shoe before any hands are dealt. You can see the positions of all five roads on the screen. Different displays in different casinos have slight differences, but the basic pattern is the same. The Big Road is big and usually across the top of the screen. The Bead Plate (actually called the “marker road” above which is one of its alternative names) is at the bottom left. The Big Road and the Bead Plate are similar in nature in that they both directly record the results of the shoe so far in a simple manner. Big Eye Boy (called “Big Eye Road” in the previous image), the Small Road and the Cockroach Road are much more complex than the Big Road and the Bead Plate. Collectively those three roads are called “derived roads” (we’ll explain that in more detail later). The derived roads are below the Big Road, always with Big Eye Boy above the Small Road on the left and the Cockroach Road on the right. Normally Big Eye Boy, the Small Road and the Cockroach Road use symbols of half a cell’s height and width, so three rows of cells can fit six symbols vertically and the standard rule of each road being six symbols in height is maintained. Notice on the display that Cockroach Road is shown as seven rows in height, which is unusual. Normally it would be three rows in height (with symbols taking up half a row each, effectively making it six rows in height). And you’re wondering what that other two column, three row grid over on the right is, aren’t you? Well, that’s called the “prediction table,” but we have a long way to go before we get to that!
