Our editorial rating for slots, computed the same way for every game from the figures on this page: the return (its top and its lowest configuration), the top win, whether that win rewards the game's volatility, the depth of its features, and how much of its data the studio publishes itself. Where a figure is not available, that part is left out rather than guessed. It rates the game, not a casino or the studio, and it is not a prediction of what you will win.

Our reading

Hacksaw Gaming publishes four configurations for Le Bandit Hold & Win: 96.27%, 94.29%, 92.23% and 86.28%, matched by BigWinBoard and SlotCatalog. The 9.99-point gap is worth about €25 an hour at €0.50 and 500 spins.

It is a small 3×3 grid with 9 paylines, rated 3 on Hacksaw's 5-point volatility scale, and its 2,500× maximum is low for the studio. Three or more coin symbols or jackpot markers pay on their own, and rainbow symbols trigger two Hold & Win games that start with three lives which refill.

There are no free spins as such. SlotCatalog lists clover multipliers of 2× to 20× applied to coins and pots of gold; Hacksaw does not publish that range.

Third-party listings agree on two buys, 35× and 100×, and on stakes from 0.05 to 400. Hacksaw's own data for this game is identical to Le Sortudo's, though third-party sources treat it as a separate release.

The studio's own page is read first. Third-party databases are research sources: we name them, and do not link to them. A studio can supply a game in more than one return configuration, and the casino chooses one. A higher figure at one source and a lower one at another usually means they read different configurations, not that one is wrong.

Questions

What people ask about this game.

The sources we read list 96.27%, 94.29%, 92.23%, 86.28%. Each is a configuration of the same game; the casino chooses which one runs.

2,500× the stake.

Medium. Higher volatility means longer dry runs between wins and bigger swings in a session.

Because a studio can ship several configurations and each casino chooses one. A review that quotes a single figure is quoting one configuration.
