How it plays
Le Bandit puts a crowbar-carrying raccoon on the streets of Paris. The grid has 6 reels and 5 rows, and wins come from clusters of matching symbols.
After a win, the winning symbols and any other symbols of the same type disappear and new ones drop in. Every spot that took part in a win is marked with a Golden Square. The squares only pay out if a Rainbow symbol lands on the same spin: then each square turns into a coin (bronze 0.2× to 4×, silver 5× to 20×, gold up to 500×), a Four-Leaf Clover or a Pot of Gold.
Clovers multiply the coins and pots next to them by 2× to 10×. Pots of Gold then collect the value of every coin on the grid and of other pots, one after another from top left to bottom right.
The three bonus rounds
Luck of the Bandit (3 FS symbols): Golden Squares stay marked between spins until a Rainbow activates them. 2 FS symbols add 2 spins, 3 add 3, and 4 move you up to the next round with 4 extra spins.
All That Glitters Is Gold (4 FS symbols, 12 free spins): the Golden Squares stay marked for the whole round and can be activated again and again.
Treasure at the End of the Rainbow (5 FS symbols, 12 free spins): squares stay marked and a Rainbow lands on every spin. This one can't be bought. Where the casino allows it, the first two rounds can be bought, and BonusHunt FeatureSpins raise the bonus chance 5 times for 3× the bet.
