Le Prechaun is the "Le" game where Wilds build multipliers. Released by Hacksaw Gaming on 16 July 2026, it dresses Smokey as a leprechaun on a 6×5 cluster pays grid with Golden Squares, Bags and Pots of Gold and Epic Rainbows. Its new idea is the Position Multiplier: a Wild in a winning cluster marks its cell as x2, and every further Wild win on that cell doubles it, up to x100. Free spins add a Lucky Charm Bar. RTP ranges from 97.52% to 86.31% depending on the casino, volatility is 3/5, and the max win is 15,000x.
This information covers Position Multipliers, the collectors, the Lucky Charm Bar, the three bonus games, the Buy menu and the RTP versions.

Le Prechaun summary
Le Prechaun splits the value between two systems. The first is the familiar one: wins mark Golden Squares, and a Rainbow turns them into Coins, Clovers, Bags and Pots of Gold. The second belongs to the Wild. Whenever a Wild is part of a winning cluster, its position becomes a Position Multiplier that starts at x2 and applies to every win it is part of.
The multiplier doubles each time another Wild lands on that cell and wins, up to x100. In the base game the marks last until the end of the spin; in the first bonus they last for the whole round. A cell that has doubled a few times turns ordinary clusters into big wins, which gives Le Prechaun a second route to value that does not depend on a Rainbow.
Theme, design and sound
Smokey finally becomes the leprechaun he has been dressed as since Le Bandit. The premiums are Irish pub and luck props: green top hats, leprechaun shoes, beer mugs, horseshoes and dice, and the bonus names are puns: Arc Adventure, Clover the Top and Shamrock 'n' Roll.
Position Multipliers are shown on their cells, so you can always see where the doubled values sit before the next spin.
RTP, volatility and max win
Le Prechaun ships in five RTP versions: 97.52%, 96.28%, 94.29%, 92.28% and 86.31%. Over 1,000 spins at €1, the theoretical gap between the top and bottom versions is 1,000 × €1 × (97.52% − 86.31%) ≈ €112.10. The info screen shows the version your casino runs.
Volatility is 3/5, and 37.8% 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 Prechaun
A spin has two layers to watch.
- Set the stake from €0.05.
- Spin. Clusters of 5 or more pay and cascade away.
- Wild in a win? Its cell becomes a x2 Position Multiplier, or doubles if it already is one.
- Golden Squares mark winning positions; a Rainbow activates them.
- Epic Rainbow reveals special symbols on every position.
Le Prechaun symbols and what they do
Regular symbols pay from 0.2x to 1x for a cluster of 5 and up to 200x for 14+ on the top symbol. Coin values are multiples of the total stake.
| Symbol | Name | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
 | Green Top Hat | Premium | Top regular symbol, 200x for 14+. |
 | Beer Mug, Shoes, Horseshoe, Dice | Premium | Lower premiums. |
 | A, K, Q, J, 10 | Low | The lowest payers. |
 | Wild | Special | Substitutes for regular symbols. In a win, marks its cell as a Position Multiplier. |
 | Position Multiplier | Cell mark | Starts at x2, doubles with each new Wild win on the cell, up to x100. |
 | Rainbow / Epic Rainbow | Special | Rainbow activates Golden Squares; Epic Rainbow reveals special symbols on every position. |
 | FS symbol | Special | 3, 4 or 5 start the bonus games; each one in free spins fills the Lucky Charm Bar. |
 | Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond Coins | Revealed | Instant prizes; Diamond Coins are worth up to 500x. |
 | Green and Gold Clover | Revealed | Green boosts nearby Coins; Gold multiplies all Coins, Bags and Pots on the grid. |
 | Bag of Gold | Revealed | Collects Coins and activated Bags or Pots on adjacent squares. |
 | Pot of Gold | Revealed | Collects every Coin and activated Bag or Pot on the grid. |
Position Multipliers
A Wild that is part of a winning combination marks its position as a x2 Position Multiplier. The multiplier applies to every win the cell is part of, and after regular wins it stays marked like a Golden Square. Each time a Wild lands on a marked cell and is part of a win, the value doubles: x2, x4, x8, x16, x32, x64, with x100 as the cap.
Worked example (illustrative values). A cell has already doubled twice and sits at x8. A Wild lands on it in a cluster that would normally pay 1.5x. The cell doubles to x16 and the cluster pays 1.5 × 16 = 24x, or €2.40 at a €0.10 stake.
The Lucky Charm Bar
The Lucky Charm Bar runs in Arc Adventure and Clover the Top. It moves one step for each FS symbol that lands, reaches a new level on every fifth, and each level adds 5 free spins.
| Level | Effect |
|---|---|
| 1 | +5 spins and 2 Position Multipliers added to the grid |
| 2 | +5 spins and 3 more Position Multipliers |
| 3 | +5 spins and a Rainbow on every remaining spin |
Le Prechaun bonus games
All three rounds start with 10 free spins.
Arc Adventure (3 FS)
Golden Squares stay until a Rainbow activates them, Position Multipliers stay for the whole round, and the Lucky Charm Bar builds.
Clover the Top (4 FS)
The same rules, but Golden Squares stay highlighted even after activation. When an Epic Rainbow lands, only the squares that existed before it remain.
Shamrock 'n' Roll (5 FS)
The Hidden Epic Bonus: Clover the Top's rules with the Lucky Charm Bar at level 3 from the start, so a Rainbow lands on every spin, and all Coins are worth at least 1x. It is the main route to 15,000x and cannot be bought.
| Round | Trigger | Spins | What sets it apart | Buyable |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arc Adventure | 3 FS | 10 | Permanent Position Multipliers; Bar builds | Yes, 60x |
| Clover the Top | 4 FS | 10 | Squares kept after activation; Bar builds | Yes, 250x |
| Shamrock 'n' Roll | 5 FS | 10 | Bar at level 3: Rainbow every spin; Coins from 1x | No |
Can you buy the bonus in Le Prechaun?
Where permitted, the menu has five options.
| Option | Cost | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| BonusHunt FeatureSpins™ | 3x per spin | Each spin 5 times more likely to trigger a bonus |
| RainbowRide FeatureSpins | 75x per spin | A Rainbow or Epic Rainbow every spin, Coins from 1x |
| RainbowRide Epic Drop FeatureSpins | 500x per spin | An Epic Rainbow every spin, Coins from 1x |
| Arc Adventure | 60x | Direct entry to the 3-scatter round |
| Clover the Top | 250x | Direct entry to the 4-scatter round |
The menu mirrors Le Vampire's prices. Arc Adventure at 60x is cheaper than one RainbowRide spin.

How to approach a Le Prechaun session
Two decisions matter most.
- Find the 97.52% version. The bottom version is more than 11 points lower.
- Prefer the cheap buy. If you buy at all, Arc Adventure at 60x keeps Position Multipliers for the whole round.
Every spin is random; no staking plan changes the RTP.
Pros and cons
Le Prechaun's strengths come from the Wild layer.
- Position Multipliers - a second route to big wins, up to x100 per cell.
- 97.52% top RTP - among the highest in the series.
- Cheap direct buy - Arc Adventure at 60x.
The trade-offs:
- Wide RTP spread - down to 86.31%.
- Multipliers reset in the base game - they last only until the end of the spin.
- Top round not buyable.
Who Le Prechaun suits
Le Prechaun suits players who like watching a multiplier grow and want more than one way to win big. If you prefer the original engine, play Le Bandit; for the same collector set with Blood Rain, see Le Vampire.
