Hacksaw Gaming
The studio behind Le Bandit
Company History
Hacksaw Gaming has been run out of Malta since 2018 — HGMT Ltd is registered in Żebbuġ and licensed by the MGA from December that year. The studio treats each slot as a single mechanic taken to its limit rather than a pile of stacked features.
Le Bandit is the calmer corner of that catalogue. Where later "Le" titles chase 20,000x screenshots, this one caps at 10,000x and sits at 3/5 volatility.
The buy menu is the tell. Two bonus buys at 100x and 250x, two FeatureSpins™ options at 3x and 50x a spin, and a published RTP against each — you pick your exposure instead of paying one fixed price.
What They Do Best
Mid-Scale Variance
Hacksaw rates Le Bandit 3 out of 5 on its own volatility meter — the calmer end of the studio's catalogue, built around small cluster wins that load the board for a Rainbow.
Tiered Bonus Buys
100x for Luck of the Bandit, 250x for All That Glitters Is Gold, plus FeatureSpins™ at 3x and 50x a spin — four priced routes into the same game.
Published Numbers
The rules screen lists 96.34% for ordinary play and a separate RTP for every buy option — unusual transparency, and worth reading before you spin.
Light On Hardware
The stripped-back look and low particle count make it comfortable on older phones, where heavier Hacksaw titles start to stutter.
Other Popular Hacksaw Gaming Games
| Game | RTP | Max Win |
|---|---|---|
| Dusk Princess | 96.21% | 10,000x |
| Eternal Duel | 96.42% | 15,000x |
| Chaos Crew 2 | 96.27% | 20,000x |
Fairness & Licensing
Hacksaw holds licences from the Malta Gaming Authority, the UK Gambling Commission and several other regulators, though it does not name a testing lab for this individual title. Golden Square values resolve when a Rainbow opens them, every buy tier lists its own RTP, and demo and cash play run on the same engine.
Why Le Bandit?
Pick Le Bandit when you care about the maths rather than the highlight reel. The default build returns 96.34%, volatility sits at 3/5, and every purchase option publishes its own return — so you can see exactly what a shortcut costs. The ceiling is 10,000x, and Hacksaw says it is reachable from the base game as well as from all three bonuses.
