5 Koi Legends (Joker123): two wilds and a pick-your-own free spin round

5 Koi Legends is a Chinese-themed slot on Joker123, and its main quirk is that it runs two wild symbols with different rules. Once you know which does what, the rest of the game is easy to read.

Two wilds on the 5 Koi Legends reels

The temple is the stronger wild. It can stand in for any other symbol, but it only appears on reels 2, 3 and 4, so it works in the middle of a line rather than starting one.

The lion is the second wild. It substitutes for every symbol except the temple. Having both on the board gives you more ways to fill a line than a single wild would, which is the point of the design. It won't change the odds in your favour overall, but it does mean more line hits look possible from the same spin.

What sets off the gate feature

Land six or more temple symbols and you trigger the bonus. The old write-up calls it the "gantry" feature, which reads like a mistranslation of a gate or temple-gate round. Because temples only appear on reels 2 to 4, six of them means stacks across those middle reels.

Choosing your free spins

The bonus is a free spin round with a twist: you choose the setup. You pick your own number of free spins and the number of extra wild symbols for the round. As a rule of thumb in pick-your-bonus games, fewer spins with more wilds tends to be the swingier choice, and more spins with fewer wilds the steadier one.

Pick a stake you can repeat for a good number of spins, since the trigger needs a lot of temples. You can play 5 Koi Legends on Joker123, and the Joker123 review list has the platform's other games.
