Le Digger slot
Le Digger is a Hacksaw Gaming slot released on 7 May 2026, played on a 6 by 5 grid where clusters of five or more matching symbols win. Every position hides three layers, and each win or dynamite blast strips one of them away. The third layer holds the Golden Reveals: coins, clovers that multiply them and collectors that gather them up.

Rules, features and payout figures are set by the studio and can differ between operators and game versions, so check the game’s information panel before you play.

How Le Digger plays
Wins are counted as cluster pays: five or more of the same symbol touching across or up and down, anywhere on the grid. Five card ranks, A to 10, are the low symbols. Above them come hats and binoculars, then backpacks and fossils, with the gas lamp at the top of the paytable.
When a cluster pays, its symbols are removed together with the layer beneath them, and new symbols fill the gaps. Once the grid has settled, between one and five dynamites may be thrown onto it. Each one clears a 2 by 2 area and takes a layer off every position it covers. A dynamite that lands on a Wild Dynamite clears a 3 by 3 area instead, and that blast can reach further Wild Dynamites and set off a chain.
Le Digger: 6 reels, 5 rows; cluster pays, 5 or more matching symbols touching horizontally or vertically. Matching symbols that touch side by side pay as a cluster.
Golden Reveals
Clear the first two layers of a position and the third is exposed as a Golden Reveal. These are the game’s special symbols. Coins come in four grades, bronze, silver, gold and diamond, and each carries an instant prize. Green Clovers multiply the coins and Collectors next to them, while Gold Clovers multiply every coin and Collector on the grid, with values from 2x to 20x. Collectors then gather the values of all the coins and activated Collectors in view. A gold coin beside a Green Clover showing 3x, for example, counts three times over when it is collected.
Tomb Service and Dig It
Three FS scatters lead to Tomb Service and four lead to Dig It, and both start with a decision: take the 10 free spins, or gamble them for a shot at the next bonus up, with a cash prize as the other possible result. Tomb Service adds a Dynamite Collector, which stores dynamite through the round and throws all of it onto the grid on the final spin. Dig It has a Blast Bar instead, filled by the symbols removed from the first two layers, and each time it fills it raises the lowest grade of coin that the Golden Reveals can show.
Gold Digger, the hidden bonus
Gold Digger is the top bonus, reached either with five FS scatters in the base game or by winning the gamble offered at the start of Dig It. It plays 10 free spins, and five dynamites are thrown onto the grid on every one of them, after the regular wins have been settled. Bronze coins are taken out of the Golden Reveals for the round, so any coin that turns up is silver, gold or diamond.
Le Digger compared with Le Bandit
Le Bandit, from August 2023, set the pattern that Le Digger follows: a 6x5 grid paying in clusters, with coin prizes at the centre of its features. The difference is in how the grid is cleared. Le Bandit uses Super Cascades, and its coins come from Golden Squares that a Rainbow symbol switches on. Le Digger replaces the cascades with layers and dynamite, and its coins are buried in the third layer, so they have to be uncovered before they can pay.
| Game | Released | Grid and pays | How the grid clears | Where the coins come from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Le Bandit | August 2023 | 6x5, cluster pays | Super Cascades | Golden Squares activated by a Rainbow symbol |
| Le Digger | May 2026 | 6x5, cluster pays | Layers and dynamite | Golden Reveals in the third layer |

Frequently asked questions
How does the Blast Bar level up in Le Digger?
It counts the symbols removed from layers 1 and 2 during Dig It. At 85, 100 and 115 symbols it moves up a level, and each level adds 5 free spins and lifts the minimum coin in the Golden Reveals, first to silver, then gold, then diamond. The bar has four levels in all, counting the starting one.
Can the free spins be retriggered in Le Digger?
Yes, in Tomb Service and Gold Digger: two FS scatters landing during the round add 2 spins, and three add 4. Dig It grows in its own way instead, through the Blast Bar, whose three level-ups after the start each bring 5 more spins on top of the 10 it begins with.
Which symbol pays the most in Le Digger?
Among the regular symbols it is the gas lamp, whose top payout needs a cluster of 14 or more. Backpacks and fossils follow, then binoculars and hats, with the card ranks at the bottom. The largest single values on the grid belong to the diamond coins in the Golden Reveals, and clovers can multiply those further.
