Le King Slot Review

The Le King Slot Game

If asked to guess, what role do you think the master of disguises is assuming in this new Hacksaw Gaming release? You’re right if you guessed Elvis Presley!

For those in the wind, he made Las Vegas his home for seven years (1969-1976), performing at the International Hotel, two shows a night, seven days a week. Eventually, he left a lasting impact on the city’s culture and entertainment landscape. Some claim he still reigns in Vegas.

As such, Le King takes you to Sin City (tweaked here as Spin City), pacing to the right of the 6x5 reelset with his signature grinning face. The atmosphere is draped in bright pink and purple colours, thanks to the neon lights illuminating the resorts, casinos, and hotels in the background.

Smokey can be moody, especially when nothing significant happens. Or, is his grumpy persona due to the less vibrant soundtrack synonymous with the Vegas aura?

Symbols and Payouts

The cartoonish visuals extend to the paytable, where ten symbols, taking after the playing card royals and other thematic items, reside. Furthermore, the slot features a cluster pays system, where connecting 5 or more identical symbols anywhere on the grid triggers a payout.

After every win, the paying symbols are removed and replaced with new ones dropping from above. The cascades continue as long as more wins are formed.

Before listing the symbols and payouts, it’s worth noting that they are displayed in the paytable dynamically to reflect the currently selected bet. So, you calculate your win by multiplying the paytable value by the current bet.

The low-paying symbols in Le King are the 10 worth 0.1x to 0.5x, the J and Q, worth 0.1x to 0.6x, and the K and A, worth 0.1x to 1x the stake. Then, the high-value category includes the following:

• Watermelon & Dice Cubes - 0.3x to 3x the bet.
• Microphone - 0.5x to 5x the stake.
• Poker Chips - 1x to 10x the bet.
• Roulette Wheel - 1x to 25x the stake.

Even as a cluster-paying slot, it features a wild symbol that substitutes for all paytable symbols. I’ll discuss the other special symbols in the next segment.

Le King Slot Bonus Features

Remember the Golden Squares from Le Bandit and Le Pharaoh? They make a comeback here, accompanied by a jackpot markers feature, three bonus rounds, and feature buys!

Golden Squares

Any position with a winning symbol will turn golden. Meanwhile, any Neon Rainbow symbol on the Le King grid will activate all the Golden Squares in view after collecting all wins. The activated Golden Squares reveal 0.2x to 4x bet Bronze coins, 5x to 20x bet Silver Coins, or 25x to 500x bet Gold Coins.

The Golden Squares can also reveal the Treasure Pots, Green or Gold Clovers, and Jackpot Markers.

The Clover symbols activate after all the Golden Squares have been revealed. The Green Clovers multiply all the adjacent Coins or Treasure Pots by x2 to x20 values. Then, the Gold Clovers multiply all the Coins or Treasure Pots on the grid by the same values.

The Treasure Pot symbols activate from top to bottom, then from left to right after all the Clovers have applied their multipliers. They collect and store all the Coin values and the values of all other Pots. However, they don’t collect the Jackpot Markers.

After activating the last Treasure Pot on the current Le King grid, all the other Golden Squares will activate again and reveal new symbols. Then, the above process repeats.

Jackpot Markers

The Jackpot Markers can hit or be revealed from the Golden Squares. They award Mini (10x), Major (100x), Mega (1,000x), and/or Max Win (20,000x) jackpot prizes based on your selected bet.

Only the Jackpot Markers that land alongside a Neon Rainbow will be activated. When a Golden Square reveals a Jackpot Marker, it will be awarded after all the Treasure Pots and Coins have been awarded. Only one of each jackpot value can appear at once, meaning all four can land on a spin.

Spin City Bonus

Land 3 FS scatters in the Le King base game to trigger this feature with 10 free spins. It retains the base game mechanics, but all the Golden Squares are progressive and remain sticky until the Neon Rainbow activates them.

Managing 2 or 3 more FS symbols during all the bonus awards, +2 and +4 additional free spins.

Jackpot of Gold

Hit 4 FS scatters in the base game to trigger this bonus with 10 free spins. It maintains the Spin City mechanics. Additionally, all the Golden Squares are sticky throughout the bonus, even after being activated by the Neon Rainbow.

Viva Le Bandit!

Finally, hitting 5 FS scatters in the le King base game awards 10 free spins of this feature. It keeps the Jackpot of Gold mechanics. Furthermore, every spin guarantees one Neon Rainbow, and only Silver and Gold Coins will be revealed.

Bonus Buys

With this option, Le King lets you buy:

• BonusHunt FeatureSpins - each spin is 5 times more likely to trigger a bonus for 3x the bet.
• Shamrock & Roll FeatureSpins - guarantees at least one win and a Non Rainbowper spin for 60x the stake.
• Spin City bonus for 80x the bet.
• Jackpot of Gold bonus for 250x the stake.

How to Win at Le King Slot

All you need to play this slot is a stable internet connection and a budget that can sustain gambling between 0.10 and €100 per Le King spin!

You pick an ideal bet using the Up and Down arrows, and start a single round using the Spin button (clockwise arrow) or the keyboard’s spacebar. A single spin activates the 6 reels and 5 rows simultaneously.

It’s worth mentioning that every spin doesn’t guarantee a win. Instead, since the game employs a Cluster Pays technique, you only win when 5 or more identical symbols connect on adjacent positions horizontally or vertically.

Le King also allows you to spin the reels multiple times, determined by preselected rounds using the Autoplay function. 

Le King Slot RTP & Volatility

Beware of variable payback rates (RTPs) that vary depending on the online casino. However, the RTP tops up at 96.14%. Then, the slot has medium volatility and a win cap of 20,000 times the bet!

The Concluding Verdict

Are you an adventurous person who finds the Indiana Jones’ excursions in the iGaming scene somewhat crowded? Well, look no further as Hacksaw Gaming has another equally explorative chap, Smokey. The sneaky raccoon has had enthusiasts follow him to Paris, ancient Egypt, Valhalla, and now, Las Vegas!

There’s no doubt the ‘Le’ series has plenty of places for players to be apart from the comfort of their gambling zones.

Now, back to this game. It takes after an immersive design like its predecessors, setting the grumpy Smokey next to the reels, animating him to change emotions. It’s a nice touch as it adds an element of reality to the gameplay.

When it comes to gameplay, it includes advanced features that surpass those of past Le Bandit, Le Pharaoh, and Le Viking slots. While it repeats some features, such as the Golden Squares, it adds more to the gameplay, providing advanced action. This time, it introduces a new Jackpot Markers feature, which awards jackpots, including the Max Win, worth 20,000 times the bet.

Furthermore, it involves Treasure Pots that collect all the coin values and those of other Pots. As if that’s not enough, you have three progressive bonus rounds that you can retrigger. In summary, I have nothing but heaps of praise to say about this gameplay. Even the fact that, yes, it’s possible to instantly win the top reward, making it worth two spins or three.
