ABOUT

Disguise yourself as a leprechaun and infiltrate your way to uncover the legendary Treasure At The End Of The Rainbow and win up to 10,000 your stake!
Betting Options and Bonus Features
Le Bandit is a tumble-style slot that takes place on a 6x5 grid where your goal is to land clusters of matching symbols. The size of the cluster can range between 5 to 13+. The number of symbols in a cluster will determine your winnings, which can go up to 100x your stake.
Each time you land a winning cluster combination you’ll trigger the Super Cascade system. It will first grant you an appropriate reward and then remove all the winning symbols from the view, replacing them with new ones to potentially create a chain reaction of wins. These Super Cascades can repeat indefinitely or as long as you keep landing cluster wins. The game also has a Wild symbol, represented by a Wanted poster. It will help to enhance the value of your wins by substituting it as any regular pay symbol.
Another key feature is the Le Bandit Golden Squares, which are triggered with each win. These squares are located behind the winning symbols but are only activated if a Rainbow Symbol appears. Once activated, the squares turn into bronze, silver, or gold coins, a Pot of Gold, or a Four-Leaf Clover. Each of these symbols carries different values.
- Bronze Coin - Awards a prize between 0.2x and 4x your stake.
- Silver Coin - Awards a prize between 5x and 20x your stake.
- Gold Coin - Awards a prize between 25x and 50x your stake.
- Four Leaf Clover - Multiplies all adjacent coins and pots of gold by up to 10 times.
- Pot of Gold - Collects all coin values and stores their total value and respins your Golden Squares.
When it comes to the bonus rounds, keep an eye out for FS Scatter symbols. If you manage to collect at least three you’ll trigger the Luck of the Bandit Bonus Round, which awards you 8 free spins, and Golden Squares that remain active until a rainbow symbol activates them. Additional Scatters during these rounds can grant you extra spins or even upgrade the bonus round to the next tier.
Landing four FS Scatter symbols trigger a slightly different bonus game called - All That Glitter is Gold. During this game, all Golden Squares remain highlighted throughout the whole bonus, even after being activated by the Rainbow symbol and rewarding payouts. In other words, all that needs to be done is to land a Rainbow symbol to land big wins.
If, however, you manage to land the rare five Scatter symbol combination during the base game, you enter an extremely lucrative bonus round called Treasure At The End Of The Rainbow. In this round big payouts are pretty much guaranteed as every spin will automatically land at least one Rainbow symbol. In addition, just like in the previous round, all highlighted Golden Squares remain but also all lower-tier Bronze coins are not present. All three bonus rounds are extendable with additional FS Scatters landed during the game.
If you’d like to skip your way straight to the free spins bonus games, you’re able to do that through the Bonus Buy menu. They’re all available along with some FeatureSpins modes, except for the Treasure At The End Of The Rainbow for obvious reasons.
- BonusHunt FeatureSpins - Increase your chance to trigger the bonus by five times for 3x your bet.
- Rainbow FeatureSpins - Each spin is guaranteed to land a Rainbow Symbol
- Luck of The Bandit - Land 3 scatters for 100x your stake.
- All That Glitter Is Gold - Land 5 scatters for 250x your stake.
Roshtein’s Take
Le Bandit goes absolutely insane! Just first week into the release the game paid out multiple multi-million dollar wins live on stream! It’s great to see Hacksaw incorporated the collector symbols outside of the ol’ Hold & Spin-style bonus game. They always give off that instant rush whenever they land and now you can get that even in the base game.
