Le Digger is the "Le" game you dig through. Released by Hacksaw Gaming on 7 May 2026, it sends Smokey on an archaeology dig across a 6×5 cluster pays grid where every position has three layers. Wins and Dynamite blast symbols away layer by layer, and the bottom layer holds Golden Reveals: Coins, Clovers and Collectors. Free spins add a Bonus Gamble, a Dynamite Collector and a Blast Bar. RTP is 96.26% in the top version (also 94.29%, 92.32% and 86.21%), volatility is 3/5, and the max win is 15,000x.
This information covers how the layers and Dynamite work, the Golden Reveal values, the three bonus games and their Gamble, and the Buy menu.

Le Digger summary
Each grid position in Le Digger is a stack of three layers. The first two hold paying symbols, FS symbols and Wild Dynamite. The third, at the bottom, holds only Golden Reveals. A win removes the winning symbols and one layer behind them, so a position that wins twice is dug down to layer 3 and opens a Golden Reveal.
Dynamite speeds that up. After the grid settles, Smokey can throw Dynamite that clears a 2×2 area and one layer behind it; a Dynamite that hits a Wild Dynamite blows a 3×3 area, and a second Wild inside that area chains the blast. The game is about breaking through to the bottom layer in as many places as possible, then letting the Golden Reveals pay.
Theme, design and sound
Smokey is an explorer at a dig site, with an explorer's hat, binoculars, a backpack, a fossil and a lantern as premium symbols. The bonus names (Tomb Service, Dig It, Gold Digger) keep the excavation joke going. The layers are drawn as visible strata, so you can see which positions are one hit away from a reveal.
RTP, volatility and max win
Le Digger ships in four RTP versions: 96.26%, 94.29%, 92.32% and 86.21%. Over 1,000 spins at €1, the theoretical gap between the top and bottom is 1,000 × €1 × (96.26% − 86.21%) ≈ €100.50. Check the info screen at your casino.
Volatility is 3/5 and about 36.4% of spins land a win. The max win is 15,000x:
| Stake | Max win (15,000x) |
|---|---|
| €0.05 | €750 |
| €1.00 | €15,000 |
| €10.00 | €150,000 |
How to play Le Digger
A spin follows this order.
- Set the stake from €0.05.
- Spin. Clusters of 5 or more pay.
- Dig. Winning symbols are removed with one layer behind them; new symbols and layers drop in.
- Dynamite. Smokey may throw 1 to 5 Dynamite, each clearing a 2×2 area and one layer.
- Golden Reveals. Positions dug down to layer 3 reveal Coins, Clovers and Collectors, which pay.
Le Digger symbols and what they do
Regular symbols pay for clusters of 5 or more; the lantern pays 200x for 14+. Coin values are multiples of the total stake.
| Symbol | Name | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
 | Lantern | Premium | Top regular symbol, 200x for 14+. |
 | Fossil, Backpack, Binoculars, Explorer Hat | Premium | Lower premiums. |
 | A, K, Q, J, 10 | Low | The lowest payers. |
 | Wild Dynamite | Special | Substitutes in clusters. Hit by Dynamite, it explodes in a 3×3 area and can chain. |
 | Dynamite | Feature | Thrown by Smokey; clears a 2×2 area and one layer. Does not affect FS symbols or layer 3. |
 | FS symbol | Special | 3, 4 or 5 start Tomb Service, Dig It or Gold Digger. |
 | Bronze Coin | Golden Reveal | 1x, 2x, 3x or 4x. |
 | Silver Coin | Golden Reveal | 5x to 10x. |
 | Gold Coin | Golden Reveal | 20x to 50x. |
 | Diamond Coin | Golden Reveal | 100x to 500x. |
 | Green and Gold Clover | Golden Reveal | Green multiplies adjacent Coins and Collectors by x2 to x20; Gold multiplies all of them. |
 | Collector | Golden Reveal | Collects all Coins and activated Collectors, top-to-bottom, left-to-right. |
Worked example (illustrative values). Dynamite digs four positions down to layer 3. They reveal a Silver 5x, a Gold 20x, a Gold Clover showing x2 and a Collector. The Gold Clover doubles both Coins to 10x and 40x, and the Collector gathers 50x, or €5 at a €0.10 stake.
Le Digger bonus games
All three rounds start with 10 free spins. The first two open with a Bonus Gamble: play the round, or gamble for an upgrade or a cash prize.
Tomb Service (3 FS)
Every Wild Dynamite that is part of a win goes into a Dynamite Collector. On the last free spin, Smokey throws everything collected onto the grid at once. The Gamble offers entry to Dig It or a cash prize.
Dig It (4 FS)
A Blast Bar fills as symbols are removed from layers 1 and 2. Each time it fills, it raises the minimum Coin type revealed, from Bronze up through Silver and Gold to Diamond. The Gamble offers entry to Gold Digger or a cash prize between 5x and 500x.
Gold Digger (5 FS)
The Hidden Epic Bonus: Smokey throws 5 Dynamite onto the grid on every free spin, after regular wins resolve. It is the main route to 15,000x and cannot be bought.
| Round | Trigger | Spins | What sets it apart | Gamble | Buyable |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tomb Service | 3 FS | 10 | Dynamite Collector fires on the last spin | Yes | Yes, 80x |
| Dig It | 4 FS | 10 | Blast Bar raises the minimum Coin | Yes | Yes, 250x |
| Gold Digger | 5 FS | 10 | 5 Dynamite every spin | No | No |

A few points are specific to this game.
- Check the RTP version. The bottom version is 86.21%.
- Decide on the Gamble in advance. It trades a whole round for one random outcome.
