Le Bandit — Bonus Features
What each buy tier costs, what it returns, and what the Golden Squares behind it are actually worth — every figure from Le Bandit's own rules screen.

Golden Squares
How to Trigger
Every symbol of a winning type clearing off the 6×5 grid.
What Happens
Cluster wins wipe all matching tiles and each vacated cell turns into a Golden Square that lingers on the board. Nothing pays yet — the squares bank value quietly until a Rainbow arrives to open them.
Multipliers
Each square hides a coin, a Four-Leaf Clover or a Pot of Gold.
Worth Knowing
Read the board: a heavily loaded grid is what turns one Rainbow into a real payout.

| Pays | On Rainbow |
| Density Matters | Yes |
| Grid | 6×5 |
| Volatility | High (3/5) |
Rainbow Activation
How to Trigger
A Rainbow symbol appearing anywhere on the grid.
What Happens
Rainbows never join clusters; they open every Golden Square at once. Behind each sits a Bronze Coin (0.2x–4x), a Silver Coin (5x–20x), a Gold Coin (25x–500x), a Four-Leaf Clover that multiplies adjacent cells, or a Pot of Gold that collects all coins and pots in view. Pots fire top-to-bottom, left-to-right, then the squares open again until no new Pot appears.
Multipliers
Coins 0.2x–500x; clovers x2, x3, x4, x5 or x10 on adjacent cells.
Worth Knowing
A Pot of Gold on a loaded board is where the base game's biggest hits come from.
| Bronze | 0.2x–4x |
| Silver | 5x–20x |
| Gold | 25x–500x |
| Clover | x2–x10 |
| Collector | Pot of Gold |
Three Free Spins Bonuses
How to Trigger
3, 4 or 5 FS scatters landing together in the base game.
What Happens
Luck of the Bandit: 8 free spins, squares stay lit between spins until a Rainbow opens them. All That Glitters Is Gold: 12 spins, squares stay lit for the whole bonus even after paying. Treasure At the End of the Rainbow: 12 spins, a guaranteed Rainbow every spin and no Bronze Coins at all. Extra FS symbols add +2 or +4 spins; four FS during Luck upgrade the round to All That Glitters with +4 spins.
Multipliers
Same coin and clover values throughout; Treasure pays Silver and Gold only.
Worth Knowing
The 10,000x cap is reachable in every mode and in the base game — no single mode owns it.
| Luck | 3 FS · 8 spins |
| All Glitters | 4 FS · 12 spins |
| Treasure | 5 FS · 12 spins |
| Retrigger | +2 / +4 |
| Cap | 10,000x |
Bonus Buy & FeatureSpins™
How to Trigger
The BUY BONUS menu, where your operator allows it.
What Happens
Buy Luck of the Bandit for 100x your stake or All That Glitters Is Gold for 250x. FeatureSpins™ charge per spin instead: BonusHunt at 3x stake gives five times the odds of triggering a bonus, Rainbow FeatureSpins™ cost 50x a spin. Treasure At the End of the Rainbow cannot be purchased.
Multipliers
A bought round plays exactly like the naturally triggered one.
Worth Knowing
Compare the published buy RTPs against 96.34% for ordinary play before deciding what the shortcut is worth.
| Luck buy | 100x · 96.30% |
| All Glitters buy | 250x · 96.40% |
| BonusHunt | 3x · 96.28% |
| Rainbow spins | 50x · 96.36% |
| Treasure | Not for sale |
Buy Feature Options
| Option | Cost | RTP | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| BonusHunt FeatureSpins™ | 3x per spin | 96.28% | Low |
| Rainbow FeatureSpins™ | 50x per spin | 96.36% | Medium |
| Luck of the Bandit | 100x | 96.30% | Medium |
| All That Glitters Is Gold | 250x | 96.40% | High |
What The Squares Are Worth
Coin and multiplier values
Opened Golden Squares reveal one of five things. Bronze Coins pay 0.2x, 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 3x or 4x. Silver Coins pay 5x, 10x, 15x or 20x. Gold Coins pay 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x or 500x. Four-Leaf Clovers multiply adjacent coins and pots by x2, x3, x4, x5 or x10. Pots of Gold collect every coin and every other pot in view. Hacksaw does not publish how often each one appears.
How the squares behave in each round
In the base game and in Luck of the Bandit, squares stay lit until a Rainbow opens them, then clear. In All That Glitters Is Gold they stay lit for the whole bonus even after paying, so the next Rainbow opens a fuller board. Treasure At the End of the Rainbow keeps them lit too — and guarantees the Rainbow on every spin.
Inside the cheaper round
Luck of the Bandit runs 8 free spins from three FS symbols, or 100x your stake from the buy menu. The published RTP for that buy is 96.30%. Landing two more FS symbols inside the round adds +2 spins, three adds +4, and four upgrades you to All That Glitters Is Gold with +4 spins on top.
Buying In
Four purchase options exist and all four list their RTP in the game: BonusHunt FeatureSpins™ at 3x a spin (96.28%), Rainbow FeatureSpins™ at 50x a spin (96.36%), Luck of the Bandit at 100x (96.30%) and All That Glitters Is Gold at 250x (96.40%). Ordinary play sits at 96.34%. Treasure At the End of the Rainbow is not on the menu at any price.
The two buy prices are 100x and 250x your stake. At $1 a spin that is $100 and $250 per round, and the published returns are 96.30% and 96.40% — close enough to ordinary play that the buy is about time, not edge. Hacksaw publishes no average payout for either mode, so nobody can honestly tell you what a round "usually" returns.
Before you press buy
A 250x buy at $1 a spin is $250 gone in one click, and free spins can end with less than the cost. Set the size of a buy against what you can lose, not against a hoped-for return — and remember buys are allowed to exceed the normal $100 bet ceiling.
