Since Le Bandit arrived in August 2023, Hacksaw Gaming has turned Smokey’s world into a whole family of Le slots. By October 2026 there are more than a dozen main titles plus regional twins and casino exclusives. Most use a 6×5 grid and Smokey’s world, but the numbers behind them differ a lot – volatility runs from 2/5 to 3/5, and maximum wins from 2,500x to 25,000x. This guide puts the series side by side.

* Le Pharaoh: OLBG and Gambling.com list 15,000x, SlotCatalog lists 10,000x. Volatility uses Hacksaw’s 1–5 scale where published; Le Bunny is listed only as “medium”. Two more titles are announced: Le Clubber (3 November 2026, 10,000x) and Le Gift Grabber (26 November 2026, 15,000x).
Which Le slot is the least volatile?
On Hacksaw’s own scale, the lowest rating in the series is 2/5. It belongs to Le Football Fan, confirmed on Hacksaw’s game page, and Le Fisherman, according to OLBG. Every other main title with a published x/5 rating is rated 3/5, the same as the original Le Bandit; Le Bunny is listed only as medium.
Low volatility comes with a trade-off. Le Football Fan caps out at 2,500x – a quarter of Le Bandit’s ceiling – while Le Fisherman keeps a 15,000x maximum. For players who want the gentlest swings without giving up the top end, Le Fisherman is the more balanced choice of the two.
Which has the highest max win?
In the main series, Le Cowboy leads with 25,000x (OLBG). Le King, Le Zeus, Le Santa and Le Bunny follow at 20,000x. The original Le Bandit, at 10,000x, is now one of the lower ceilings in its own series; only Le Football Fan and the Hold & Win spin-off sit below it at 2,500x.
Highest RTP versions
Two recent games break the usual 96% ceiling. Le Prechaun lists a top version of 97.52% on Hacksaw’s page, and Le Vampire a top version of 97.57%. Both also come in lower settings – Le Prechaun’s list goes down to 86.31% – so the casino’s choice decides what you actually play. Our guide to RTP versions explains how to check it.
Three bonus formats in one series
The “Le” games share Smokey and the visual style, but not one bonus template. They fall into three groups:
- The Le Bandit pattern – 8, 12 and 12 free spins for 3, 4 and 5 scatters, with the same round names as the original. Used by Le Bandit, Le Football Fan, its regional twin Le Hooligan and the upcoming Le Clubber.
- Ten spins in every round – most newer titles give 10 free spins whatever the scatter count and change the round’s rules instead. Le Zeus uses 8 spins in each tier.
- Different structures – Le Pharaoh offers a choice between free spins and a lives-based round, Le Viking uses lives plus a 6-spin top tier, and Le Bandit Hold & Win drops free spins altogether for two Hold & Win rounds with four jackpots from 5x to 2,500x.
Many titles from Le Cowboy onwards label the five-scatter round a Hidden Epic Bonus – a round that cannot be bought. The original Le Bandit already worked this way: its five-scatter round is not in the buy menu. The scatter symbols guide covers how these tiers work across providers.
Signature mechanics by title
- Le Bandit – Golden Squares activated by a Rainbow; coins, clovers and pots.
- Le Pharaoh – Sticky Re-drops and Golden Riches.
- Le Viking – Raid Spins and grid multipliers on 15,625 ways.
- Le King – Golden Squares with a Neon Rainbow and four jackpot markers.
- Le Zeus – mystery symbols with sticky respins.
- Le Cowboy – Revolver Reveal and a Bullet Collector.
- Le Fisherman – Buckets and a Big Catch Bar.
- Le Prechaun – Golden Squares plus position multipliers that double.
- Le Vampire – Blood Squares and a Symbol Bar.
Twins and exclusives
Not every title among the Le slots is a new game. Le Hooligan was released alongside Le Football Fan as a version for different markets, and Le Sortudo shares Le Bandit Hold & Win’s format and RTP set. Several more reskins exist only at single casinos. If two Le games look almost identical, compare the RTP list and max win before assuming they play the same.

Biggest ceiling: Le Cowboy (25,000x). Highest top RTP: Le Vampire or Le Prechaun, if the casino runs the 97%+ version. The original formula: Le Bandit – the base the rest of the series was built on.[/wpremark]
