Bead Road / Bead Plate

Baccarat

A visual scoreboard display that records every round of baccarat in chronological order, showing each result with colored markers. Red circles denote banker wins, blue circles denote player wins, and green denotes ties. Some displays also show the hand total numerically within each circle, plus indicators for pairs. This is the most detailed of all baccarat roadmaps.

In practice

Standard display in both live and electronic baccarat across Asia-Pacific. Surveillance uses bead road data to verify game integrity and detect electronic scoreboard manipulation.
