Looking through My old files I found a post that I made on this board on 2-2-05. Nobody answered my post and I have not looked at this game since.

It was brought to my attention that my analysis of Shockwave was different from the Wizard of Odds site. A few months ago this game was discussed on this board. I reviewed those posts and found that mine did not agree with them either. I would appreciate having someone repeat what I have done and critique my analysis.
I found that playing the base game using the strategy for the same game with an increased quad lowered the ER, but the shorter quad cycle increased the final ER. I concluded that adding 18.6426 to the quad produced the highest ER for the 12/8/5 pay schedule. Adding or subtracting from this number on other pay schedules added .004% or less so I stayed with one quad number.
Here is my evaluation.
(#1) The base game for the 25/12/8/5 pay schedule has an ER of 95.2373%
(#2) Shockwave mode for the 800/12/8/5 pay schedule has an ER of 289.9961%
(#3) Game with 43.6426/12-8-5 pay schedule has an ER of 99.5115%.
Play game #1 using game #3 strategy.
Playing game #1 using strategy #3 has an ER of 95.2321% and a quad cycle of 435.622
Multiply ER * quad cycle
(95.2321 * 435.622) = 41485.1979
Add 41485.1979 + ER of Shockwave mode * 10.
41485.1979 + (289.9961*10) = 44385.1589
Divide 44385.1589 by quad cycle +10
44385.1589/(435.622+10) = 99.6027% ER

There might be another consideration how many more hands can you play before you're no longer in shockwave mode? Should not have much of an effect.
