MS/STP games in database listings

Today I verified that the various MS and STP games at South Point were listed in the database, which they are. However, not to create even more work for our overworked admin, but a general point for all of the database listings occurred to me: Shouldn't MultiStrike and Super Times Pay game versions be broken out into separate ER groupings, since the ERs for these games are higher than their base games?

For example, regular 9/6 JoB is 99.54% but 9/6 JoB MS is 99.79%; regular 16/10 NSU is 99.73% while 16/10 NSU MS is 99.92%, etc. The same can be said for STP: 8/5 BP STP is 99.44%, etc.

Second point: shouldn't the ER of each game be shown out to 2 decimal points in the listings? Many games are within 0.1% of each other, so the extra decimal place would be nice to differentiate and distinguish them further. For example, many players would consider an 0.07% difference a big deal, but showing both 9/6 Bdlx (99.64%) and 9/5 WHA (99.57%) rounded to 99.6% in the listing conceals this difference in ER. However, clicking on any of the links does show the ER to 2 decimal places in the glossary.

Since the databases are sorted by descending ER, the MS and STP versions should appear before (above) the regular versions. For example, the South Point listings would expand and change order as below:

···

------------------------
16/10 NSU MS 99.92%
9/6 JoB MS 99.79%
16/10 NSU 99.73%
9/5 SDB 99.69%
9/6 Bdlx 99.64%
9/7 TDB 99.58%
9/5 WHA 99.57%
9/6 JOB 99.54%
8/5 BP STP 99.44%
8/5 Ace$ BP 99.41%
8/5 BP MS 99.37%
9/7 DB MS 99.29%
9/6 DDB STP 99.26%
9/6 DDB MS 99.18%
8/5 BP 99.17%
9/7 DB 99.11%
9/6 DDB 98.98%
----------------------------

[I still think "regular" NSU should be listed as 16/10 NSU, like every other game is, but I'll address that on another thread.]

Every other casino with these games would have to be reorganized in the same way (sorry admin!).

First let me say that I REALLY appreciate the time you put in keeping
the database up to date. I would like to request a page for Super
Times Pay, similar to the Multistrike and Spin listings in the cross
directory. I have tried to search the regular Vegas directory but
they aren't always listed on the first page, only after clicking on
the individual casino pages. I'd be interested in knowing about
anything 9/6 DDB or better. Thanks for all your hard work!

That's been on my "To Do List" so I moved it to the
top and it's now done. It's a link in the LV Cross
Directory, which you can get to from the LV Index +
Summary page. Direct Link:

Thanks! I was hoping the list would be longer, but I can't really blame you for that, can I??
