Le Bandit Slot Overview

Meet Smokey, raccoon bandit of the reels and master of disguises. Anything goes in the slot-o-sphere, and Hacksaw Gaming have let their imagination run wild in this fun comic book caper, as the furry menace of the French side streets plots to plunder the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Discover the loot, and you may escape with a 10,000x max win!

In the world of slots, there are many themes which seem to crop up time and time again. Games based upon French raccoon bandits with their heart set on the end of the rainbow are, however, in a minority of one, and Hacksaw Gaming deserve plenty of props for their imagination. The gameplay is similarly excellent, with the innovative Win To Win feature bringing excitement and win potential to the base game, ensuring that things never become dull. The thrill thermometer then rises considerably in the three riveting bonus round, and should you be lucky enough to bag the Treasure At The End Of The Rainbow version, that 10,000x Pot of Gold begins to feel like a real possibility. Utterly charming throughout, with distinctive mechanics and excellent win potential, Le Bandit stole our heart.

Le Bandit Slot Features

Wanted Poster Wilds

The word is out regarding Smokey, with Wanted Poster Wilds substituting for all standard symbols to help create winning combinations.

Super Cascades

Each time you hit a win, all winning symbols and any other matching symbols on the layout will be removed, with new symbols falling in to replace them. This process repeats for every winning cluster – creating the possibility of rewarding Chain-Reaction Wins.

Win To Win

Following a win, all squares behind winning symbols will turn gold. If a Rainbow Symbol is also present on the reels or appears within the same sequence of cascades, these Gold Squares will be activated and reveal one of the following:

Bronze Coins: Prize of 0.2x, 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 3x, or 4x the total bet.
Siver Coins: Prize of 5x, 10x, 15x, or 15x the total bet.
Gold Coins: Prize of 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, or 500x the total bet.
Four-Leaf Clovers: Multiplies all Coin and Pot of Gold symbols on adjacent positions by x2, x3, x4, x5, or x10.
Pot of Gold: Activated after Four-Leaf Clovers and collects the values of all Coin and other Pot of Gold symbols. If more than one Pot of Gold is present, they will activate in turn, moving from top to bottom and left to right. After the last Pot of Gold has activated, all Golden Squares will reveal a new symbol, and the process will repeat until no new Pot of Gold Symbols appear - at which point you will be awarded the total value of all Coin and Pot of Gold Symbols in view.

Free Spins Bonuses

Our friend Smokey isn’t shy with his Bonus Rounds, with three increasingly rewarding features on offer

Luck Of The Bandit: Triggered by landing three Polaroid Camera Scatters and grants eight free spins. All Golden Squares remain in play between spins until activated by a Rainbow Symbol. Landing two or three Scatters during the round will add two or four additional spins to your tally. Land four Scatters, and you will receive four more spins and see your bonus upgraded to the All That Glitters Is Gold Round.

All That Glitters Is Gold: Triggered by landing four Scatters and awards 12 free spins. All Golden Squares remain in play for the entire round, even after being activated by a Rainbow Symbol. Hitting two or three Scatters will again see two or four free spins added to your total.

Treasure At The End Of The Rainbow: Triggered by landing five Scatters and grants 12 free spins. All Golden Squares remain active throughout the round, but this time a Rainbow Symbol is guaranteed to land on every spin and only the higher value Silver and Gold Coins are in play.

Our Verdict: We loved this three-tiered bonus system, which progressively builds on the Win To Win feature of the base game. The three Scatter bonus brings plenty of excitement as the Golden Squares remain on the reels, but the four and five Scatter versions really ramp up the big win anticipation.

Le Bandit Slot RTP & Volatility

RTP	Variable RTP	Volatility
96.34%	Yes	Medium

The top-end return to player (RTP) percentage of 96.34% is a healthy nudge above the industry average RTP of 96%.

As a medium volatility release, you should expect a balanced experience with decent win potential in the base game and feature rounds.

Our Verdict: At 96.34%, the game represents excellent value for money. However, this is a variable volatility release, with alternative lower settings of 94.23%, 92.17%, and 88.36% also available. We always recommend consulting the information section of the game to discover the setting in use at your online casino of choice. Smokey appears to be a high-risk raccoon, but the game itself is a little calmer, with the Win To Win element bringing it firmly into the medium category.

Le Bandit Slot Graphics & Audio

Graphics

Hacksaw Gaming have called upon the type of sepia tones found in many noir comic books for the visual presentation, creating a dark yet cartoonish vibe. That aesthetic carries over into the slightly dulled low-paying symbols, helping the more detailed high-value and special symbols to stand out from the crowd. The star of the show is the wonderfully animated Smokey character, who presides over the action.

Le Bandit (Hacksaw Gaming) 1 — Free spins in action

Le Bandit (Hacksaw Gaming) 2 — Super Mega Win

Le Bandit (Hacksaw Gaming) 3 — Coins cover the reels

Audio

A jauntily plodding piano provides the soundtrack, featuring wandering bass notes and twinkling passages. The thuds and electronic bursts of the reel effects will be familiar to slots fans, but Smokey helpfully livens up the action with his gibberish exclamations celebrating wins and shouting about bread.

Our Verdict: We expected a game with a theme as off the wall as this one to be a lot of fun, and Le Bandit is certainly that. Smokey resides within the lovable rogue category, and the graphics and audio do a great job of bringing his dubious charms to life.

Le Bandit Slot on Mobile

Smokey Le Bandit doesn’t appear to have a mobile phone in his tool kit, but that doesn’t mean modern slot fans aren’t able to enjoy the criminal undertakings on the small screen. Le Bandit is fully compatible with Android, iOs, and Windows-powered devices.
