As a "rip off", Winning Streak appears to be clumsily executed (relative to the fine tuning with which MultiStrike was implemented).
WMS has omitted the "Free Ride", which was a device that LED used ensure that player return wasn't diminished as number of levels played (total wager) is increased. (A requirement in some jurisdictions.)
In fact, I wonder if the WMS Winning Streak is even compliant in such jurisdictions, except for very weak paytables.
The bottom line is that it's my guess that even if Winning Streak features a strong base paytable such as 9/6 JB, the overall max-wager game return is inferior (rather than stronger) ... perhaps why one shouldn't expect to see strong paytables on a WS machine.
