Le Bandit Review
Meet Smokey Le Bandit, a crowbar-clutching raccoon who scuttles around the backstreets of Paris, looking for his next victim to fleece. But if you get lucky, he might share some of his stolen coins with you…
This famous slot from Hacksaw features a cluster pays format and a Super Cascade feature. That means all instances of the winning symbol on the grid fall away, not just those in the cluster. And when the cluster falls, it leaves Golden Squares behind, ready for a rainbow to come along and turn them into Bronze, Silver, or Gold Coins.
On top of that, Four-Leaf Clovers and Pot of Gold symbols multiply your winnings. Plus, 3 or more FS Scatter symbols take you to the free spins round where everything gets ratcheted up a notch further. You’re in for a treat, especially when Smokey straps on his leprechaun disguise!

Gameplay
How To Play
- Choose your bet level and hit spin to start.
- Land 5 or more symbols in a cluster to win.
- All symbols on the grid matching those in the cluster tumble away, leaving Golden Squares behind.
- If you have a Rainbow on the grid, the Golden Squares will turn to one of three Coin types (representing a stake-based win), Four-Leaf Clovers, or Pot of Gold symbols. These last two symbols multiply wins and are rarer.
- 3 FS Scatter symbols trigger Luck of the Bandit, where Golden Squares remain until they’re combined with a Rainbow.
- 4 FS Scatter symbols trigger All That Glitters is Gold, where Golden Squares remain until the end of the round.
- 5 FS Scatter symbols trigger Treasure at the End of the Rainbow, where Golden Squares remain until the end of the round, plus there’s a Rainbow guaranteed every spin!
Bonus Symbols
- Golden Squares: When a cluster tumbles away, Golden Squares are left behind until the end of the spin. If a rainbow is present, it’ll turn these squares into Coins, Four-Leaf Clovers, or Pot of Gold symbols.
- Rainbow: Activates Golden Squares.
- Coins: These come in Bronze (0.2x, 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x), Silver (5x, 10x, 15x, 20x), and Gold (25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, 500x). They represent a stake-based win.
- Four-Leaf Clover: Adds a multiplier (2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x) to all Coins in adjacent squares
- Pot of Gold: Collects the values of all Coins on the grid, then regenerates Coin values, effectively working as a 2x multiplier for the whole grid.
- FS Scatter: 3, 4, or 5 of these trigger the bonus rounds.
- Wild: Substitutes for all base symbols to create winning combinations.
Bonus Features
- Luck of the Bandit free spins round: Instead of disappearing with each new spin, Golden Squares will remain until they’re triggered by a Rainbow.
- All That Glitters is Gold free spins round: Golden Squares remain on the grid until the end of the round.
- Treasure at the End of the Rainbow free spins round: Golden Squares remain until the end of the round, with a guaranteed Rainbow on every spin.

SweepsPlays Verdict
- This is one of Hacksaw’s most popular titles in recent years and has spawned successful sequels like Le Pharaoh and Le Viking. Everyone should try it at least once.
- The vintage Disney/Fleischer animation style with old-timey music hits the spot. It’s a fun, relaxing play.
- With medium volatility, it’s well-suited for those who enjoy steady spins with exciting bonus rounds.
- The base game never gets boring, and the free spins rounds take it to another level with the possibility for big multipliers and wins.
- Buy the bonus is available with various options, but these rounds do rely on Rainbows landing, so if they don’t, you may be disappointed.
