Interesting MultiStrike Statistics - 2 Level Play

#1

The few times I've checked Multistrike paytables, when you play fewer than
four levels (with max coins on the levels you DO play) the Royals pay 1250 coins
times the appropriate multipliers. Is this not the case?

It's the case though that you do lose a moderate portion of the
boost in ER of Multistrike vs, the base game when you play "short-
level". In the case of 9/6 JB, where 4-Level "6/4/2" optimized play
has a ER of 99.77%, playing just 3 Levels offers 99.66% and 2 Levels
99.60%. (I hadn't intended to omit these numbers from my post.)

That's a critical observation, obviously.

I've only played the game on four occasions, the last being around 3
months ago. I recall the paytables being full pay even when less than
4 Levels were selected in those cases, but because I was playing all 4
levels I can't say this for sure.

Some feedback on this is appreciated.

I have only played MS in Tunica, Mississippi -- in three separate casinos. The last time was on January 19th, at Hollywood Casino. The other places were Harrahs and Gold Strike. In ALL instances, the paytable for FULL-COIN jumped to the max Royal value as soon as I moved from playing one level to playing 2-levels. I know this was the case for all denominations because I was very careful to check every denomination on every level and copy down the paytables and free ride percentages. I've been meaning to get that info to Tom for his inventory, but have either been busy or have forgotten at the time ... and once again I find that this is not a good time while I remember because it is going to take a bit, and I need to get some sleep because I'm ready to crash. I will say that the machines at Hollywood were 'weird' -- a little different than the others I'd seen so far, because they only offered 8 games instead of the usual 12, and they had a bunch of buttons on the machine that weren't functional -- as if they retrofitted the darn thing; max bet was five coins, and max number of levels was ... obviously ... 4, yet they had a line of buttons which didn't do anyting at all, labeled "Play 1 Hand ... Play 10 Hands ... Play 15 Hands ... Play 25 Hands ... and ... Play 50 Hands" ... as though this was a multi-play machine, which is was not. I put some money in it and played occasionally as I checked the inventory, and I tried pressing those buttons and nothing happened. Really weird.

Really lousy inventory, though, so there is nothing on them worth playing at all.

Cheers.
