Le Hooligan is the high-ceiling twin of Le Football Fan. Hacksaw Gaming released both on 8 June 2026 with the same football theme, grid and features: a 6×5 cluster pays grid with Super Cascades, Marked Squares that a Rainbow turns into Coins, Four-Leaf Clovers and Buckets of Gold, and three free spin tiers. Le Hooligan runs the sharper maths: 3/5 volatility and a 10,000x max win, with RTP of 96.34% in the top version (also 94.23% and 92.17%).
This information covers what changes against Le Football Fan, how Marked Squares pay, the paytable, the three free spin rounds and who should pick which twin.

Le Hooligan summary
Clusters pay and cascade, and every winning position becomes a Marked Square. Nothing happens to those squares until a Rainbow lands; then each becomes a Coin, a Clover or a Bucket of Gold. Buckets collect the Coins in view, Clovers multiply what is next to them, and the round pays. The free spins keep Marked Squares alive across spins, and the top round adds a Rainbow to every spin.
Because the paytable and features are shared with Le Football Fan, the 10,000x cap comes from how often the big Coins and multipliers line up, not from different rules. That is what 3/5 volatility means in practice: more quiet stretches and more room at the top.
Theme, design and sound
The look is the same as Le Football Fan: Smokey on match day, with a football, beer, a horn, a scarf and tickets on the reels, and chants and crowd noise behind the spins. The name sets the tone for the riskier maths.
RTP, volatility and max win
Hacksaw lists three RTP versions: 96.34%, 94.23% and 92.17%. Over 1,000 spins at €1, the theoretical gap between the top and bottom is 1,000 × €1 × (96.34% − 92.17%) ≈ €41.70.
Volatility is 3/5. The max win is 10,000x:
| Stake | Max win (10,000x) |
|---|---|
| €0.10 | €1,000 |
| €1.00 | €10,000 |
| €10.00 | €100,000 |
How to play Le Hooligan
A spin follows the familiar order.
- Set the stake in the bet menu.
- Spin. Five or more matching symbols touching horizontally or vertically pay.
- Super Cascade. Winning symbols clear and new ones drop in.
- Marked Squares highlight every winning position.
- Rainbow turns them into Coins, Clovers and Buckets, which pay.
Le Hooligan paytable
Payouts are multiples of the total stake by cluster size.
| Symbol | Name | 5 | 8 | 13+ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 | Football | 1x | 3x | 100x |
 | Beer / Horn | 0.5x | 1.5x | 50x |

Le Hooligan special symbols and what they do
Coin values are multiples of the total stake.
| Symbol | Name | What it does |
|---|---|---|
 | Wild | Substitutes for regular symbols. |
 | Rainbow | Activates every Marked Square. |
 | FS symbol | 3, 4 or 5 start the three free spin tiers. |
 | Bronze, Silver, Gold Coins | Instant prizes from 0.2x up to 500x. |

 | Bucket of Gold | Collects the value of the Coins in view. |
Worked example (illustrative values). A Rainbow reveals a Gold 50x, a Clover beside it showing x5, a Silver 10x and a Bucket of Gold. The Gold becomes 250x and the Bucket collects 260x, or €26 at €0.10.
