Le Bandit: Hunt Down Golden Coins With Smokey For up to 10,000x Wins

Hacksaw Gaming's Le Bandit introduces us to Smokey, a raccoon with a crowbar, a taste for gold, and some very ambitious plans for his future. Cluster wins, cascading reels, up to 500x cash prizes, up to 10x multipliers, and two different free spins bonus rounds are up for grabs with a 10,000x win limit. Ready to see the humble beginnings of our raccoon friend? Let’s get to it! 

The 6x5 grid uses cluster pays, with five or more matching symbols touching horizontally or vertically to create a win. Symbol pays range from 0.10x to 100x your bet, while winning symbols disappear and let new ones cascade into their places. There is also a wild that substitutes for the regular paying symbols. 

My first few wins came in at 0.10x to 0.30x like clockwork every three to four spins, although things picked up later with wins reaching 3.40x and helping keep my losses under control.

Rainbow symbols are where the coin collection starts to take shape. They activate the golden squares left behind by winning symbols, revealing Bronze, Silver, or Gold Coins, with a four-leaf clover able to multiply the collected values before the pots of gold gather everything up. 

I usually saw 3x to 6x returns from two to four revealed spaces, but one particularly good spin opened more than eight coin spaces and paid me 43x my bet. The pot of gold was even more impressive, collecting cash symbols on the reels and reactivating the golden squares as more pots appeared. I managed to trigger this collection process twice on one spin, eventually walking away with a massive 106.80x payout. 

Landing three camera scatters triggered Luck of the Bandit, giving me eight free spins. The golden squares remain highlighted throughout the bonus, while rainbow symbols activate them, and additional scatters can add more spins. My feature finished with a 44.90x total win, which wasn’t bad but definitely not as good as the pot of gold feature. 

Le Bandit starts off slowly, but the rainbow and coin mechanics give the base game plenty to chase once they begin appearing. The pot of gold feature was easily the most interesting part of my session, while the free spins gave the game another way to build some bigger wins. Overall, Smokey's little robbery turned out to be a pretty entertaining session.
