Le Bandit slot review
Le Bandit is Hacksaw Gaming’s 2023 cluster-pays slot and the first of its “Le” series, set on the backstreets of Paris. It plays on six reels and five rows, where wins mark Golden Squares that a Rainbow symbol can turn into coins, clovers and pots of gold. The maximum win is 10,000x stake.

How Le Bandit plays
Clusters of five or more matching symbols, joined horizontally or vertically, pay. After a win, the winning symbols and every other symbol of the same type on the grid are removed, and new symbols drop in. Every position that was part of a win becomes a Golden Square. If a Rainbow symbol is on the grid once the wins are paid, it activates every Golden Square:
- Coins: bronze, silver or gold, worth from 0.2x to 500x stake.
- Four-leaf clovers: multiply the coins and pots next to them by 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x or 10x.
- Pots of gold: collect the coins and pots in view, then the other Golden Squares reveal again, until no new pot appears.
Three bonus rounds
Three, four or five scatters each lead to a different bonus. Luck of the Bandit gives 8 free spins, and Golden Squares stay marked between spins until a Rainbow activates them. All That Glitters Is Gold gives 12 spins, and the squares stay marked for the whole round. Treasure at the End of the Rainbow works like All That Glitters Is Gold, plus a Rainbow on every spin and no bronze coins. In the first two rounds, two or three more scatters add two or four spins.
