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.
What the figures say about Le Fisherman.
Our reading
Le Fisherman is listed in 4 return configurations, from 96.33% down to 86.25%. Hacksaw Gaming does not print a return on its game page; the figures come from BigWinBoard. The 10.08-point gap between the top and the bottom costs about €25 more an hour at €0.50 a spin and 500 spins an hour, for identical play.
Golden Squares from wins are turned by a Rainbow into Coins, Clovers, Buckets that collect a 3×3 area, or Global Buckets that collect the whole grid; an Epic Rainbow reveals a special symbol on every position.
BigWinBoard puts it at 2 of 5 for volatility, the lowest in the series before Le Football Fan, with a 15,000× maximum. The three bonus games each give 10 free spins; Golden Squares stay lit until used in the first and for the whole round in the second.

1 source, one story.
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.

What people ask about this game.
The sources we read list 96.33%, 94.33%, 92.34%, 86.25%. Each is a configuration of the same game; the casino chooses which one runs.

Low-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.
