Le Bandit Guide: Rules, Golden Squares, Rainbow Coins and Three Bonus Games

Le Bandit slot by Hacksaw Gaming

By the CasinoDemo editorial team · Updated 2026-11-09 · How we review

Le Bandit is a Hacksaw Gaming cluster slot on a 6x5 grid, starring Smokey Le Bandit, a racoon with a crowbar and a moustache. Wins leave Golden Squares behind, and a Rainbow symbol turns those squares into coins, clovers and pots of gold. The top prize is 10,000 times your bet.

We played the demo at a €2 bet, read the full game info and tried all four options in the buy menu. Below are the rules with their exact values, plus what each of our rounds paid.

How Le Bandit works

The grid is six reels by five rows. A win needs 5 or more matching symbols touching orthogonally (up, down, left or right, not diagonally) anywhere on the grid. After a win, the winning symbols are removed and new ones drop in to fill the gaps, and this repeats until no new wins appear.

The five card symbols (10, J, Q, K, A) pay 0.1x your bet for a cluster of 5, 0.5x for 8, 1.5x for 9 or 10, 5x for 11 or 12 and 15x for 13 or more. The bear trap and cheese go from 0.3x up to 25x. Beer and bread go from 0.5x to 50x. The top hat is the best symbol: 1x for 5 and 100x for 13 or more. The Wild Reward poster substitutes for all symbols in the paytable.

Golden Squares, Rainbow and the coin symbols

Every winning cluster highlights the squares behind it as Golden Squares. On their own they do nothing. When a Rainbow symbol lands, it activates every Golden Square after the wins are paid, and each square reveals a coin. It may also show a Pot of Gold or a Four-Leaf Clover.

Coins are cash prizes in multiples of your bet. Bronze coins are worth 0.2x, 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 3x or 4x. Silver coins are worth 5x, 10x, 15x or 20x. Gold coins are worth 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x or 500x. Clovers act first and multiply every coin and pot on the squares next to them by x2, x3, x4, x5 or x10. Then each Pot of Gold collects the value of all coins and other pots, working top to bottom, left to right. After the last pot fires, the other Golden Squares activate again. The cycle repeats until no new pots appear, and then everything is added up and multiplied by your bet.

The three bonus games

Luck of the Bandit starts when 3 FS scatters land at once and gives 8 free spins. Golden Squares stay lit between spins until a Rainbow activates them. In the bonus, 2 more FS symbols add 2 spins and 3 add 4. Landing 4 FS during this bonus upgrades it to All That Glitters Is Gold and adds 4 spins.

All That Glitters Is Gold needs 4 FS in the base game and gives 12 free spins. Here the Golden Squares stay lit for the whole bonus, even after a Rainbow uses them, so the board keeps filling up.

Treasure At the End of the Rainbow is the hidden epic bonus. It needs 5 FS and gives 12 free spins. Golden Squares stay for the whole bonus, a Rainbow lands on every spin, and Bronze coins are removed, so every coin is silver or gold. It is not in the buy menu.

Bonus buy and FeatureSpins options

The buy menu has four choices. Prices below are for a €2 bet, and RTPs come from the game info.

Bonushunt FeatureSpins cost 3x the bet (€6) per spin. Each spin is 5 times more likely to trigger a bonus. RTP 96.28%, listed as High volatility. It is the same thing as the "Bet €6.00 to get 5x bonus win chance" switch beside the grid. On our third €6 spin, three FS landed and started Luck of the Bandit. That natural bonus ran 8 spins and paid €579.20, about 290x the €2 bet.

Rainbow FeatureSpins cost 50x (€100) per spin, and every spin is guaranteed a Rainbow. RTP 96.36%, Medium volatility. Our single spin filled most of the grid with coins plus a 50x gold coin and a 75x pot, and returned €322.20, about 161x the base bet or 3.2 times the spin price.

Luck of the Bandit costs 100x (€200), RTP 96.3%. Ours got a +2 retrigger, ran 10 spins and paid €443.40, about 222x the bet.

All That Glitters Is Gold costs 250x (€500), RTP 96.4%. Our 12 spins built slowly, then two Rainbow rounds late in the bonus did most of the work, and it ended at €753, about 376x the bet.

FeatureSpins stay on until you press DISABLE, so watch your balance. Every result here is a single round, not an average.

RTP, max win and bet range

The base game RTP is 96.34%. The buy options range from 96.28% to 96.4%. The maximum win is 10,000 times your bet, and the round ends as soon as it is reached. The rules say it can be hit in the base game and in all three bonuses. The demo's bet levels went from €0.10 to €2,000, with €2 as the default.

Our verdict

Le Bandit takes one simple idea, wins mark squares and a Rainbow cashes them, and builds three bonuses on top of it that each keep more squares than the last. The 3x Bonushunt option is a cheap way to see the bonuses more often, and the 50x Rainbow spin is a good way to try the coin feature without buying a whole bonus. All four of our tests paid more than they cost, which is luck, not a pattern. Try it in demo before you spend real money on the bigger buys.
