Le Bandit slot: the raccoon burglar that made Hacksaw a regular

Clusters and sticky multipliers

Wins are clusters: enough matching symbols touching each other pay, disappear, and the grid refills. What makes Le Bandit different from a hundred other cluster games is where the multipliers go. When a cluster wins, the cells it occupied receive a multiplier that stays on the grid; the next cluster on those cells multiplies by it and raises it further. Over a run of cascades the same corner of the grid can carry a multiplier that turns a small cluster into the win of the session. The loot bags, the vault and the baguette symbols are the premiums; the raccoon is the wild.

Two bonus modes

Scatters open the free spins, and the multipliers from the base game do not reset inside them: the whole point of the bonus is that the grid keeps its sticky values for the entire round, so every cascade builds on the last. The higher mode starts with multipliers already on the grid. Both can be bought for a multiple of the bet. A note on the RTP: Hacksaw publishes several settings for its games, and the value on this page is the top one; the casino chooses the setting, and Vavada shows it in the game's info screen.

What the numbers mean at the table

With medium volatility and a 10000x ceiling, Le Bandit is the moderate option in the Hacksaw line: Wanted Dead or a Wild and Duel at Dawn are wilder, Le Fisherman is calmer. The base game pays often enough that a session without a bonus is not a write-off, which is unusual for the studio and explains the game's place near the top of the Hit tab.

Demo and where to play

Hacksaw does not offer an open launcher, so the demo runs inside Vavada from the card in the lobby: press Demo on the card, no login needed. The red button above opens the casino; new accounts get the welcome package described on the bonuses page, and the free spins from it can land in this game.
