Hacksaw Gaming launched Le Bandit Hold & Win featuring Smokey the raccoon on a 3×3 grid with 9 paylines, RTP options to 96.27%, and 2,500x max win. Two Hold & Win rounds offer up to 20x multipliers, coin collection, and tiered jackpots from 5x to 2,500x. The title extends the character’s established series with defined bonus triggers.
SCCG Take — Operators gain another character-driven hold and win title with clear RTP tiers for portfolio balancing. The fixed jackpot structure and respin resets warrant monitoring for actual player retention metrics.
Hacksaw Gaming has released Le Bandit Hold & Win, continuing the adventures of its iconic French raccoon bandit, Smokey. The new slot places the mischievous character back in France, where players encounter familiar symbols including bear traps, baguettes, and top hats. Special bronze, silver, and gold coins appear on the reels, with sets of three delivering prizes tied to specific multipliers. Jackpot markers, depicted as colored casino chips, deliver one of four fixed awards after regular wins.
Le Bandit Hold & Win Metrics
The game uses a 3-row, 3-reel layout with 9 paylines. It offers four RTP configurations: 96.27%, 94.29%, 92.23%, and 86.28%. Volatility sits at medium. Bets range from 0.05 to 400, while the maximum win stands at 2,500x. All jackpot prizes function as direct multiples of the bet.
The Hold & Win Features Pave the Way to Big Wins
Two distinct bonus rounds drive the main action. The Rainbow Fortune Hold & Win triggers on 1 Rainbow scatter and restricts play to coins, jackpot markers, pot of gold symbols, clovers, and dead symbols. Players start with three respins; each non-dead symbol resets the count. Clover symbols can carry multipliers up to 20x. Pots of gold collect every coin value visible on the grid.
The Rainbow Epic Drop Hold & Win activates via a gold Epic Rainbow scatter. It mirrors the first bonus but begins with a guaranteed full grid of qualifying symbols. Coins in this round hold a minimum value of 1x. These mechanics deliver the core path to the game’s top prizes, as reported by GamblingNews.
The release keeps all awards tied to the published specifications without deviation from the stated symbols or trigger conditions.
