How Le Bandit differs
Every Le title in the table uses Golden Squares, which a Rainbow symbol activates to reveal coins or special symbols.
Hacksaw Gaming's official pages list a maximum win of 10,000x for Le Bandit, and 15,000x and 15,000x for Le Vampire and Le Prechaun.
The default RTP on each of those pages is 96.34% for Le Bandit, 97% for Le Vampire and 97.52% for Le Prechaun; each page also lists lower-RTP versions.
Le Prechaun adds Position Multipliers where a Wild has been part of a win, and in Le Vampire an Epic Rainbow can also set off a Blood Rain; Le Bandit's official description mentions neither.
The official pages for Le Fisherman and Le Pharaoh print no RTP, volatility or maximum win, so their cells are left empty.
How it plays
Le Bandit is an online slot from Hacksaw Gaming starring a raccoon with a crowbar on the streets of Paris. It is a cascading slot: winning symbols vanish and new ones drop in, winning positions are marked as Golden Squares, and Rainbow symbols later activate them. This page covers only the rules and figures that are officially published and offers no way to win.
When a winning combination forms, the regular symbols that took part, plus every matching symbol elsewhere on the grid, vanish and new symbols drop in from above. The process repeats for as long as wins keep forming.
Every position that formed part of a win is marked as a Golden Square once its symbol disappears. When a Rainbow symbol is on the grid, the Golden Squares are activated and reveal coins of different values, or special symbols such as clovers and pots of gold.
Clovers boost the value of neighbouring coins by a multiplier, and pots of gold collect the value of the coins on the grid. The exact values are in the official wording below.
Every round is random and earlier results have no effect on the next one. This site gives no betting advice.

Whenever a winning combination is achieved, all the regular paying symbols that contributed, plus any matching symbols visible on the reels, vanish to make way for a new set tumbling into the vacant cells, which can lead to long cascades.

RTP is a theoretical value published officially. It describes the average return over the long run and many rounds, and says nothing about a single round or a short period. The version actually offered depends on the operator's settings, and the information in the game takes precedence. Items the official page does not publish are not listed in this table and are not guessed. Official page
