Here are some results for an 86% game. As to the wilds, I recommend playing with any already wild reel. In looking at it more carefully, if you have reel 5 wild only and no coins, then don't play. However, it is marginal to complicate the strategy rules for both coins and wilds.

That said, for an 86% game, I recommend playing with at least two wilds in the first three reels.

How many times did you hit Free Games and on what total bets?

no free games. :(
at the highest level, it was .75 to 3.75.
lowest level was .05 - .25

Well, assuming the 107% estimate is right, playing through all of that and hitting no Free Games, your results were perfectly within reason. It could have actually been a lot worse.

thought 1-0-1-0-1 alone was +ev?
you need the bonus to be +ev?

that means all the years i'm been vulturing this game, i've probably lost $? (i've hit maybe 2-3 bonus lifetime)

107% would be plus EV; it's just that the bonus doesn't cease to be part of that 107%. That's why, when I saw your overall result, I assumed you either didn't hit any bonuses or only hit them at one of the lower bet amounts.

(Edited to Add): Actually, I didn't absolutely assume that. It's just the most likely case given an overall loss on 25 configurations of that nature.

Was curious how this strategy plays in Fortune Link 4? There is an additional jackpot feature that is different from the original game. It seems to be clear play when all 4 screens are in a positive state, but can be difficult to know when to abandon. Thanks for any responses.

What about a 0-0-0-2-2?

The last two reels are already loaded. For the next two spins, reel 4 and 5 will be wild.

Is this an EV+ play?

No. Wild reels 4 & 5 is not even close to a play for Golden Egypt..

It is close in the sense that it would be +EV if you also have another coin. In other words, it is not playable unless you have a very high payback setup like a high-limit game in some jurisdictions.
