Hacksaw Gaming Debuts Sequel Slot Le Bandit Led by Anti-Hero Smokey

Hacksaw Gaming revisits the Le Bandit Slot released a year ago and launches a sequel, Le Pharaoh. The slot features the same anti-hero raccoon, Smokey, but this time, he swaps his bandit hat for a pharaoh crown and staff.

Le Pharaoh maintains the same 6x5 matrix with 19 fixed paylines to trigger winning combinations. Several innovative changes have been introduced to the symbols and bonus features to elevate engagement and potential payouts.

Sticky Redrops and Golden Riches

Winning symbols stick to the Le Pharaoh grid, turning their grid positions into Golden Squares, and trigger a redrop. The redrops continue as long as new symbols trigger more wins or improve on the ones already in view.

If a Rainbow symbol is on the matrix at the end of the Sticky Redrop, it activates Golden Riches. This feature turns all Golden Squares into Coins, Clovers, or Pots of Gold, each serving a unique purpose to boost payouts:

• Bronze, Silver, or Gold Coins: Award multiplier bonuses up to 500x the bet.
• Green and Gold Clovers: Multiply Coins and Pot of Gold icons by up to 20x.
• Pot of Gold symbols: Collect all other multiplier values, store them, and award them at the end of the Golden Riches bonus.

Bonus Choice Menu

Three or four scatters in the Le Pharaoh base game trigger the Bonus Choice menu. Players can select standard and super variants of Luck of the Pharaoh and Lost Treasures bonuses with different risk levels according to the potential rewards.

Luck of the Pharaoh awards ten free spins, where the Golden Squares remain active for the entire bonus. In the Super version, players get 12 free spins and higher odds of landing more valuable Coins and Pot of Gold icons.

Lost Treasures kicks off with three refilling lives, and the grid displays dead characters, Coins, Green Clovers, Golden Clovers, Stone Tablet, and Pot of Gold symbols. Any non-dead character that appears resets the lives to three. The game awards all in-view symbol values when the round ends.

Bigger Potential Wins with Moderate Risk

In the base game and bonus rounds, Le Pharaoh can award up to 15,000x the bet, a 50% increase from Le Bandit’s win cap. Even with the payout potential, the sequel has the same medium volatile rating of 3/5. The maximum RTP ranges between 96.18% - 96.21%, slightly lower than before. Nevertheless, the expanded gameplay is reason enough to draw players for a more delightful adventure with Smokey the Raccoon.
