Thanks.
Turns out that there is a Free Ride equivalent that appropriately brings the full wager game return up to snuff (for a "full pay" paytable). (FWIW, Wizard of Odds discussion lacks an analysis and instead relies upon return stats from WMS).
Again, I haven't looked at this for more than a minute or so, but I presume game strategy can be determined in a similar manner to MultiStrike. However, the 2/4/6 augments used for MultiStrike will have different values in this game. (I presume they're something like 2.0/4.5/7.0).
As has been mentioned, critical problem with the game is that there are no reports of strong 99%+ paytables being installed.
