Le Fisherman trades six-shooters for a fishing rod. Released in February 2026, it is the most recent entry in Hacksaw Gaming's Le series and the gentlest in mood: Smokey the raccoon swaps the saloon of Le Cowboy for a quiet lake, a tackle box and a patient afternoon by the water. The studio style is unmistakable if you know Le Pharaoh — same mascot, same crisp presentation — but Le Fisherman dials the variance down and builds its own set of features around the catch.
The numbers to know are a 96.33% RTP — the highest default in the family — lower-end volatility, and a top win of 15,000× your stake, matching Le Pharaoh. It plays on a 6×5 cluster-pays grid, so wins come from connected groups of symbols, and its signature mechanics are Super Cascades and Golden Squares.

About Le Fisherman
The mood is calm and outdoorsy: Smokey is reimagined as an angler, the reels are full of floats, lures, rainbow fish and buckets, and the pace feels deliberately unhurried. Mechanically, Le Fisherman is a Cluster Pays game — five or more touching matching symbols pay, then Super Cascades sweep the winners away and let new symbols tumble in for back-to-back hits.
Its standout feature is Golden Squares, activated by Rainbow symbols. These special positions reveal coins, clovers and buckets — including global buckets that can lift the whole board — turning a tidy cascade into something bigger. Layered on top are three free-spin modes — On Thin Ice, Slippery When Wet and Smokey Under Water — plus a FeatureSpins buy for players who want to jump straight to the bonus. None of it is as explosive as the high-volatility members of the family; instead Le Fisherman aims for a steadier, friendlier rhythm.
That makes it the low-volatility counterweight to the series. Where Le Pharaoh, Le Zeus and Le King chase rare, dramatic peaks, Le Fisherman is the variant you reach for when you want the Le-series charm without the long dry spells. In the lineage it is the newest link: Le Bandit → … → Le Pharaoh → Le Cowboy → Le Fisherman.
How Le Fisherman compares to Le Pharaoh
Le Pharaoh and Le Fisherman share the 15,000× ceiling, but almost nothing else about how they feel. Le Pharaoh uses 19 fixed paylines with Sticky Re-Drops, Golden Riches and Hold & Win, and it is high volatility — the big wins hide in rare bonus rounds. Le Fisherman uses Cluster Pays with Super Cascades and Golden Squares, and it sits at the lower end of the volatility scale, so wins land more often in smaller amounts. Its 96.33% RTP is also the highest in the series, a hair above Le Pharaoh's 96.18%. In short: same top prize, very different journey — Le Fisherman is the calmer, higher-RTP option for longer, lower-stakes sessions.
The pros and cons above describe the pillar game; read Le Fisherman as the gentler, higher-RTP sibling. The rest of the family, including Le Viking and the record-setting Le Cowboy, is on the Hacksaw Gaming hub.
