Hacksaw Gaming's Wild West Cluster Pays Adventure
Le Cowboy from Hacksaw Gaming introduces a groundbreaking feature system that transforms traditional cluster pays gameplay. The 6x5 grid requires minimum 5 connected symbols horizontally or vertically to form winning clusters, but the real innovation lies in the Revolver Reveal system that activates after wins.
The Loot Bag scatter is Le Cowboy's most distinctive feature. When revealed by Revolver Cylinders, Loot Bags collect all visible Coin and Diamond values plus other activated Loot Bags. After collection, all shot positions fire again, potentially revealing more special symbols. This creates chain reactions where a single Loot Bag can accumulate massive wins through multiple collection rounds.
Reload symbols add another layer by reloading all Revolver Cylinders with fresh shots, extending the reveal sequence. Only one Reload can appear simultaneously, preventing infinite loops whilst maintaining explosive win potential.
Card ranks 10 through Ace form the low-paying tier, awarding 100x for 14+ clusters. Thematic symbols include Cowboy Hats and Cacti at mid-range, whilst Crossed Pistols and Bull Skulls deliver higher returns. The Sheriff Star badge tops standard symbols at 400x for maximum clusters.
Le Cowboy offers four purchase options. BonusHunt FeatureSpins at 3x bet cost increases bonus trigger probability fivefold. Wild West FeatureSpins at 75x bet guarantees minimum 2 Wild symbols per spin but blocks FS scatter appearances. Direct bonus purchases include High Noon Saloon at 65x bet and Trail of Trickery at 250x bet, both offering gamble options for upgrades.
The cluster pays mechanism requires understanding symbol connectivity. Diagonal adjacency does not count, only horizontal and vertical connections form valid clusters. Super Cascades remove all matching symbols after wins, not just the winning cluster, creating space for new symbol drops and potential chain reactions.
Maximum exposure occurs when multiple Revolver Cylinders appear simultaneously, each firing independently before Loot Bags activate. A grid filled with cylinders can fire dozens of shots, revealing numerous high-value scatters. Green and Gold Clovers then multiply accumulated values by up to 20x before Loot Bags collect totals.
Hacksaw Gaming rates Le Cowboy as high volatility. Base game wins tend toward smaller cluster pays, with significant potential locked behind Revolver Reveal sequences. The 25,000x maximum win requires optimal bonus conditions: Pistols at Dawn with progressive Bullet Collector, multiple high-value Diamonds, and maximum Clover multipliers applied to full Loot Bag collections.
The gamble feature in bonus modes adds volatility layers. Players can risk awarded bonuses for upgrades or cash prizes, with outcomes including bonus progression from High Noon Saloon to Trail of Trickery to Pistols at Dawn, or immediate payouts ranging from 1x Bronze Coins to 500x Diamonds.
The cartoon Western aesthetic features Smokey Le Cowboy, an anthropomorphic cat character with grumpy expression, brown hat, and holstered revolver. The setting depicts an adobe desert town with beige buildings, red-orange mountains, and light blue sky. The wooden grid texture contrasts with golden symbol designs and bright scatter colours.
Animation sequences show Smokey shooting Bullet Collector rounds at the grid during Trail of Trickery and Pistols at Dawn bonuses. Revolver Cylinders rotate and fire with visual effects highlighting shot positions. The wanted poster Wild symbol and golden FS badge maintain thematic consistency.
Built on Hacksaw Gaming's 2.0.242 server version, Le Cowboy complies with EU Directive 2019/882 accessibility standards. The interface includes balance display, bet adjustment arrows, circular spin button, and settings access. Demo mode provides £5,000 starting balance for testing mechanics without financial risk.
The game prevents certain symbol combinations for balance purposes. FS scatters cannot appear during Bullet Collector activation or simultaneously with Revolver Cylinders. Reload symbols have single-appearance restrictions. These limitations prevent infinite loops whilst preserving win potential within the 25,000x maximum.
