Introduction
Le Bandit takes Hacksaw to the streets of Paris with Smokey, a pickpocket raccoon in a leprechaun hat. It plays on six reels and five rows, and everything turns on cascades and golden squares.
Hacksaw rates it 3 out of 5 for volatility, with a ceiling of 10,000 times the bet. The published RTP is 96.34%, and the studio also has 94.23%, 92.17% and 88.36% versions: each casino picks one.
Key mechanics
Every win leaves a golden square where its symbols were. If a rainbow lands on the same spin, those squares turn into coins (0.2x to 500x), clovers that multiply their neighbours, or pots of gold that collect everything in view.
3, 4 or 5 FS symbols lead to three different bonuses. In the 5-symbol one, the top tier, you get 12 spins with a rainbow guaranteed on every spin and golden squares always lit. There is a bonus buy, and a BonusHunt mode that gives 5x the bonus chance for 3 times the stake.
Verdict
A cascade game with one clear idea: every win sets up the next. Golden squares turn an ordinary spin into something else as soon as the rainbow shows up.
