Introduction to Le Bunny
Le Bunny is a casino slot from Hacksaw Gaming, presenting Smokey the raccoon in another one of his mischievous disguises. Our resourceful French fellow proved that he's a master of his craft, and that no character, real or fictional, is out of bounds for his dress-up shenanigans. His impersonations in Le Zeus, Le Santa, and have proven his skills beyond any doubt. However, Smokey also enjoys an occasional retreat, casting the elaborate costumes aside and giving into ordinary activities, like angling in Le Fisherman. In this vibrant seasonal episode, he feels like stepping in for the Easter Bunny to spread joy and wins up to 20,000x the bet delivered by the familiar to the series Golden Squares and Rainbows. If you haven't had your fill of the 'Le' antics, head on and make Easter your favourite holiday, but if you're a bit overwhelmed by Smokey's presence in the studio's portfolio lately, this might be one to sidestep on account of being a reskin of Le King
Whether you're new to the series or you're well acquainted with the moustached raccoon, the demo mode at the top of the page will allow you to test the game's features risk-free.
Theme, Gameplay & Payouts
Le Bunny is a video slot from Hacksaw Gaming with 6 reels, 5 rows, and a cluster-pays win system, requiring 5 or more matching symbols to land vertically and/or horizontally adjacent. You can choose your stake from a range of options, starting from a Min.bet of 0.1, which makes the game particularly affordable, up to a Max.bet of 50. The math profile runs on a default RTP of 96.14%, which is in line with the industry standards, although several alternative variants of 94.18%, 92.25%, and 88.25% are also released, so make sure to check the version you're playing. You can expect an even average balance between the more frequent smaller wins and occasional big hits due to medium volatility, while the max win available on any single round is 20,000x the bet. The base hit frequency sits at a generous rate of 41.33%.
As befits an Easter-themed slot, Le Bunny is packed with seasonal decorations, such as painted eggs and chocolate bunnies. The scene also matches the time of year for the celebrations (at least for the Northern Hemisphere), since all nature around seems to be blooming into beautiful flowers and fruit spread across green grass. As usual, Smokey will accompany you at all times during the gameplay, sporting a cheesy pink bunny costume and swaying to the tunes of a whimsical soundtrack peppered with sounds of nature. If you're ready to explore the magical Easter land, you can play the game on any modern device, as it adapts seamlessly to all desktops, smartphones, and tablets.
Winning combinations must contain at least 5 matching symbols forming a cluster by landing vertically and/or horizontally adjacent to each other. The paytable hierarchy contains two groups of paying icons, with the low-paying ones represented by playing card ranks, 10, J, Q, K, and A, awarding from 0.5x to 1x the bet for sets of 12 or more matching instances. High-paying symbols comprise pictures of tulips, an egg on a stick, a chocolate hen, a hatching chick, and a pink bunny. They bring payouts of between 3x and 25x the bet when scoring a cluster of 18+ identical units. Wilds are represented by a candy in a blue wrapper, and they substitute for all regular symbols mentioned above, while FS Scatters take the form of a cracked egg holding 'FS' letters inside.
Special Features & Slot Mechanics

What features are available in the slot Le Bunny?
The features are Super Cascades, Golden Squares, Jackpot Eggs, Spell of Luck Bonus, Swiping the Sweets Bonus, Rainbow Riches Hidden Epic Bonus, and Feature Buy.
Super Cascades
Every winning cluster will burst and disappear from the grid along with any matching symbols anywhere else in view. Next, all remaining symbols will fall down to available spaces, and new icons will populate the area to complete the view and potentially award further hits. The sequence continues until no new wins can be obtained.
Golden Squares
Every winning symbol scored within the same sequence marks its position with a Golden Square. If a Rainbow symbol lands anywhere on the grid, it will activate all Golden Squares once all cascades come to an end. Each highlighted position will reveal a special symbol.
Bronze Coin = awards a cash prize of 0.2x, 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 3x, or 4x the bet.
Silver Coin = awards a cash prize of 5x, 10x, 15x, or 20x the bet.
Gold Coin = awards a cash prize of 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, or 500x the bet.
Basket = collects values from all Coins on the grid and retriggers their positions to reveal a new outcome.
Green Clover = multiplies all Coins and Baskets in adjacent positions by x2, x3, x4, x5, x10, or x20.
Gold Clover = multiplies all Coins and Baskets on the grid by x2, x3, x4, x5, x10, or x20.
Jackpot Eggs
Eggs in four different colours, green, blue, pink, and red, may land anywhere on the grid or be revealed by Golden Squares. Whenever they appear together with a Rainbow symbol, their respective prizes will be instantly awarded. A maximum of one egg of each kind may land on a single spin.
Mini (green) = 10x
Major (blue) = 100x
Mega (pink) = 1,000x
Max (red) = 20,000x
Spell of Luck Bonus
Land 3 FS Scatters during a single base game round, and you'll receive 10 free spins. During this session, all previous mechanics are maintained, but all generated Golden Squares remain active between spins until triggered by the Rainbow symbol, plus the minimum value of any Coin is 1x the bet.
Swiping the Sweets Bonus
With 4 FS Scatters anywhere on the board at the end of a base game spin, you secure 10 free spins with all previous mechanics maintained and Golden Squares being persistent even after the Rainbow activates them.
Rainbow Riches Hidden Epic Bonus
5 FS Scatters scored simultaneously in the base game awards the most valuable bonus mode. Again, all mechanics are the same and 10 free spins are granted, but each one comes with a guaranteed Rainbow symbol and only Silver and Gold Coins in play.
In all three variants, landing 2 or 3 FS Scatters at the same time awards +2 or +4 free spins, respectively.
Feature Buy
If you don't wish to chase after specific symbol combinations in the base game, you can make use of the Buy Bonus menu, where certain functions of the game can be triggered instantly for a fixed price that scales with your current bet.
3x = Bonushunt Featurespins with a 5 times better chance to activate a bonus game.
60x = Rainbowcatching Featurespins, guaranteeing at least 1 win and 1 Rainbow symbol.
80x = Spell of Luck Bonus with 10 free spins.
250x = Swiping the Sweets Bonus with 10 free spins.
Final Thoughts on Le Bunny
It seems like Hacksaw Gaming decided to milk Smokey for all he's worth by releasing yet another seasonal reskin of Le King. This is the ninth instalment of the series featuring the cosplaying raccoon, and it's starting to feel like the collection is entering a peculiar territory of trying to cover every popular theme and seasonal holiday with repetitive remakes. On one hand, it's undoubtedly financially advantageous for the studio to re-release the same config while only investing in a new audiovisual design, but for players appreciating originality, it may be a sign of pure greed. Still, practices like that have become extremely common among slot creators, so it would be unfair to criticise one particular studio for embracing an opportunity for an easy win. Regardless of all those considerations, Le Bunny is an attractive Easter-themed production (with a hint of Halloween in one of the bonus rounds, for some reason), boasting the series' usual high-quality, cartoony design.
On the technical front, the game does what clones are designed to do, which is deliver the same engaging gameplay dressed in a different outfit. Hence, once more, it's all about landing clusters which highlight grid positions, to then hopefully transform them into Coins via the power of the Rainbow. Occasional green and gold Clovers may bring multipliers up to x20, while Baskets act as Collectors that gather all visible values in a single spot and retrigger the special fields. Some persistence thrown in during the bonus rounds for good measure, and we've got a familiar 'Le' setup in all its glory. If you're a fan of this playstyle and Easter time is close to your heart, Le Bunny should be a prime proposition for some festive spinning.
With Le Bunny, Hacksaw Gaming goes for an easy win, producing a seasonal reskin of its successful formula based on Gold Squares.
