Appreciate the clarifications to this post, Douglas.
I awoke a few minutes ago after an hour's nap (have a few things that need attending to before Monday that I hadn't had the opportunity to attend to yet), and in waking found my thoughts drifting back to this thread.
It quickly dawned on me that strategy considerations were considerably more complicated than I originally contemplated for the reasons you suggest ... earlier hands are advanced up the multiplier ladder by later wins.
My realization was that if you had a quad win sitting at 5x, on the last hand, you would play it similarly to the first level of multistrike -- where the emphasis is on simply getting a win of any kind. So, for example, you hold lone high cards over low pairs.
As you stress, strategy is dependent upon the value of the played hands that you have poised to advance to the next multiplier with another win. This gives rise to a variable strategy that is even more complex than that of STP MS.
Of course, any slot manager worth his salt should recognize that implicit spread between optimal returns on the game and likely player actual returns and look to strengthen paytables to entice. (I've yet to encounter a slot manager "worth his salt".)
