Le Bandit

Le Bandit gives a winning cluster a second life. Cleared positions become Golden Squares, and a Rainbow can turn them into coins and collectors after the cascades finish. The three bonuses change how long those positions survive.

Know this game

Le Bandit at a glance

The key is resolution order: ordinary clusters first, then Rainbow reveals, adjacent Clover boosts and ordered Pot collections. Bonus upgrades make the same developed grid reusable.

Inside the game

How Le Bandit works

From the first cascade to the final Pot, each part of the grid has a specific role.

How Le Bandit works

6×5 Cluster Pays

Five or more matching symbols connected horizontally or vertically form a win. Diagonal contact alone does not count; Wilds substitute for paying symbols.

Super Cascades

After a win, all regular symbols of the winning type are removed from the grid, including matching symbols outside the original cluster. Replacements fall in and further wins keep the sequence going.

Golden Squares

The positions behind winning symbols become Golden Squares. A Rainbow activates them after the ordinary winning combinations have been awarded.

Coins

Activated squares can reveal Bronze, Silver or Gold coins. Their values are expressed as multiples of the bet.

Clovers

Four-Leaf Clovers multiply adjacent Coins and Pots by 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10. Their effect is local, rather than a multiplier applied to the entire spin.

Pots of Gold

After the Clovers, Pots collect Coins and other Pots, from top to bottom and left to right. After the last Pot, the other Golden Squares reveal again; a new Pot keeps the cycle going.

Final award

When no new Pot extends the sequence, the Coin and Pot values are summed and multiplied by the bet. In the base game the Golden Squares are then removed.

Bonus modes

Luck of the Bandit

Three FS symbols start eight Free Spins. Golden Squares stay between spins until a Rainbow activates them.

All That Glitters Is Gold

Four FS symbols start 12 Free Spins. Squares remain highlighted for the entire bonus, including after activation, so later Rainbows can reuse them.

Treasure at the End of the Rainbow

Five FS symbols start 12 Free Spins with persistent squares, a Rainbow every spin and no Bronze Coins. This top bonus cannot be bought directly.

Retriggers and upgrades

In the saved game rules, two FS symbols add two spins and three add four in Luck and Glitters. Four FS during Luck upgrade the remaining feature to Glitters and add four spins. The provider overview lists a different three-FS retrigger award; the four-spin figure here belongs to the saved rules version.

FeatureSpins and Bonus Buy

FeatureSpins charge their displayed price on each spin until disabled. The direct buys pay for one bonus entry. At the saved €2 base bet, the menu shows €6, €100, €200 and €500 for the four options below.

The regular stake range in the rules is €0.10–€100; feature purchases can exceed that regular-spin limit. Availability can vary by market.

The Golden Square sequence

  1. Build

    Cluster wins leave marked positions while Super Cascades refill the grid.

  2. Reveal

    Once ordinary wins resolve, a Rainbow activates the marked cells into Coins, Clovers and Pots.

  3. Boost

    Clovers multiply their adjacent Coin and Pot values before collection begins.

  4. Collect

    Pots resolve top-to-bottom and left-to-right, collecting other values. A newly revealed Pot can extend the cycle.

  5. Award

    The final Coin and Pot total is applied to the bet.

Reading the board

A base-game cluster followed by a Rainbow is enough to show the main loop: symbols clear, squares remain, then the second award sequence begins. A bonus is not needed to understand that relationship.

During Free Spins, watch what happens to the highlighted cells after a Rainbow. Luck clears activated squares; Glitters retains them. Treasure also guarantees activation each spin.

Common misunderstandings

A Clover boosts neighbours

It can improve a Pot before the Pot collects, but does not multiply every value on screen.

Pots have an order

Later Pots can collect earlier Pot values; treating all collectors as simultaneous loses an important part of the sequence.

The top bonus is a natural entry

Treasure requires five FS symbols in base play and is absent from the direct-buy menu.

Higher trigger chance has a cost

BonusHunt offers five times the normal bonus-trigger chance for three times the base stake per spin; it does not guarantee a bonus. Rainbow FeatureSpins guarantee a Rainbow, not a specific return.

Coin values and configuration

Coin values are a separate award system from ordinary cluster-symbol payouts. The available values in the saved rules are listed below.

Hacksaw rates the game 3/5 for volatility and lists 96.34%, 94.23%, 92.17% and 88.36% RTP builds. The mode table above describes the saved 96.34% normal-play configuration, not every operator build.

Bronze0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4
Silver5, 10, 15, 20
Gold25, 50, 100, 250, 500

Player fit

Le Bandit suits players who enjoy watching a grid develop after an ordinary win. The persistent positions give each bonus a clear identity without changing the whole symbol system.

The tradeoff is a longer resolution chain. If you prefer a payout that settles immediately, the successive Coin, Clover and Pot stages can feel busy. The maximum round win is 10,000× bet; reaching the cap ends the round and any remaining feature actions.

04 / The SlotsCollector take

Le Bandit: our take

Turn cluster wins into Golden Squares, then let Rainbows, Clovers and Pots resolve the second reward.

Le Bandit’s best idea is making a successful position useful twice: first for a cluster payout, then for the Rainbow reveal. Pots and Clovers turn that second stage into a positional collection game.

The bonus ladder is unusually readable once you understand Golden Squares. Luck keeps them until activation, Glitters keeps them afterward, and Treasure adds guaranteed Rainbows while removing Bronze Coins. These are meaningful changes to a rule you already know.

Paid options are easy to confuse because they share a menu. FeatureSpins keep charging their increased stake until switched off; the direct buys purchase a bonus. Knowing that difference is more useful than treating the available RTPs as interchangeable.
