These are listed as 5-play for both casinos. Multi Strikes are 4 line
with 1x,2x,4x and 8x payouts. Also would be nice to show the increased
0.2 to 0.25% EV in the listings. (listed under NSUD, JOB, SDB & TDB).

The MS at Atlantis and Peppermill were reported to me as 5 plays.
Are you saying that the MS in the DataBase are not 5 plays?

That would be nice, although it might be confusing to some,
and most people probably realize that MS enhances the ER
of the underlying game.
In any event, it would require some decisions and effort that
I'm not currently willing to implement.

use the wizard of odds link -- it has links to a Bob Dancer article
showing screen shots and EVs for the various MS games and a link to
the IGT site selling various configurations to the casinos. All MS
machines are 4 plays. IGT sells configurations that allow more than 5
coins per line (up to 50!) but I have not seen any more than 5 coin.
Technically all MS machines are 1/2/3/4 play. Unlike most multi-play
machines, you can choose to play only 1-line at 5 coins and get the
max payout table. They are more like 50/100 play machines in this
regard than 3/5 play. You can also play 2 lines for 10-coins and get
the max payout table, etc. The Dancer/Wizard strategies are for
playing all 4 lines to get the max EV. But I believe you could
develop a strategy for playing only 2 lines that would enhance the
base EV. The only reason for playing less than 20 coins would be for
bankroll considerations.
I notice that the LV cross-link for MultiStrike is also wrong in
listing 5-play and 1-play machines.
There is such a thing as 5-play multistrike.
