A good approximation is the 30/20/10 (6/4/2 * 5 coins per line) divided by
the STP multiplier when one comes up.

Subject: [vpFREE] Re: Multi-Strike and Super Times Pay
I'm interested in the logic of the switch at a multiplier of 8x vs some
other value. (It should be clear that the switch to regular strategy in
regular MS has nothing to do with the multiplier on the top level ... it's
simply that there's no further possible advancement, so regular strategy
applies.)
I don't have access to good paytables for this game, so I'm not inclined to
sweat the math right now (preoccupied with getting our Philly home on the
market!) ... that said, I would think something like a 4x or stronger STP
multiplier might be sufficient to strongly shift strategy on all lines to
standard strategy.
Keep in mind, the 6/4/2 MS strategy serves to optimize the tradeoff between
the value of a strong hit on the current level being played and the
opportunity opened on higher levels by ANY hit.
As you strengthen the value of a hit on the current level (via STP
multiplier), you lessen that comparative advantage of advancement relative
to hitting big on the current level ... thus biasing play toward standard
strategy.
