Has anyone ever seen the 99.6% version of this?

I would think so, but how often you find opportunities is questionable. Bonuses are rare and they are FREE games, I doubt players will abandon them as much as ultimate x.

The Wiz said he found it at a Vegas bar in the article. It's one of the games available on the newer game kings. The only games I have seen on those available so far in the areas I'm familar with is "Super Shockwave" and "Red and Black Double Double Bonus". I wish I played the latter last night instead of a ~100% Bonus Deuces Wild machine as I got AAAA3, four 3s, and a "Black Royal Straight" with just one club last night. :-\

Super Shockwave got my attention, what does that one do?

Whenever you hit a 4oak, it enters "shockwave mode" for the next 10 hands. During those 10 hands, if you hit a 4oak, it pays out 4000:1. If you don't hit a 4oak within those 10 hands, it goes back to normal mode.

You need 5 credits to qualify for shockwave. So, although it is nice you aren't giving up a 6th credit for a bonus (like QQ or spinners), you're giving up a lot with the shitty paytable. Don't know what the return is on the game, but I'm venturing to say it's close to awful.

Basically "Shockwave" as RS linked above, but instead of a guaranteed 10 max "Shockwave" games after the triggering 4 of a kind, you get a random, weighted selection of 5 to 25 "Shockwave" games if I recall correctly. I assume paytables follow similar to regular "Shockwave", maybe a little better, but I really don't know. I saw it in Tunica, and it was 10/7/5, which would be 95.71% if it would be regular "Shockwave".

I suppose one could abandon free games but I think it would be unlikely.

I found this and Dice Fever at a Tapas bar on Charleston and Desert Foothills.

I know what normal shockwave is.

Your saying SSW just gives you a random amount of free hands? If that's the case>> HOW DUMB<<< Some VP game inventors are dumb.

Yeah, it's nothing special at all. But all of CET Tunica put it on their massive amount of new Game Kings with the 10/7/5 paytable. I don't think I have ever seen a single soul play the game.
