Le Cowboy: Slot Overview
Le Cowboy picks up the same mischievous tone as the rest of the series, only now set against dusty canyons and creaking saloon fronts. The raccoon reacts to almost everything on the grid — muttering, stomping or aiming his revolver as cylinders and multipliers unfold. All features seen in the Le Cowboy slot demo behave exactly as they do in the money version, making it a safe way to get familiar with the pacing, reveals and bonus structure before switching to real stakes.
Graphics & Sound: Cartoon Western Mischief
The slot presents a bright, clean cartoon Western: sun-baked canyons, wooden storefronts, chunky props and neatly outlined symbols that look lifted from an animated short. Everything is playful rather than gritty — a world where a raccoon outlaw feels natural. Smokey keeps all his trademark mannerisms from the rest of the Le-series: he frowns, mutters, puffs up his chest and stomps around the reels with the same overconfident swagger, reacting to wins and reveals as if he’s personally running the town.
The soundtrack is a slow, lazy Western shuffle with twangy strings and long pauses, creating a laid-back atmosphere. Smokey’s occasional grunts and irritated outbursts punctuate the calm. In free spins the tempo lifts, becoming quicker and more animated, but the music never loses its cartoon tone.
Volatility & RTP
The default RTP is 96.28%, with lower alternative configurations also available. Volatility sits at a medium 3/5. The maximum win is capped at x25,000 of the stake.
How to Play Le Cowboy
In the Le Cowboy slot, the bet can be adjusted from 0.05 to 5 per spin using the arrow controls. Spins can be started with the main button or the space bar, and in some jurisdictions outside the UK, options like quick spin, turbo or autoplay may also be available. The settings menu provides full audio control, letting you mute background music, sound effects, or mute the game completely.

Le Cowboy: Slot Features
Le Cowboy layers a whole set of special symbols on top of the cluster-pays base, with coins, multipliers and reveal effects chaining into each other rather than sitting in isolation.
- Wild (crumpled wanted poster): substitutes for all regular paying symbols in the paytable to help complete or extend winning clusters. It has no payout of its own and can transform into a Revolver Cylinder as part of the reveal feature.
- FS Badge (gold sheriff badge with FS letters): acts as the scatter symbol used to trigger the different free spins rounds. It does not award any direct payout and cannot land on the same spin as a Revolver Cylinder.
- Revolver Cylinder (six-chamber drum icon): appears when a winning cluster includes a Wild and takes over that position as a special scatter. Each cylinder receives between 2 and 6 shots; every shot hits a random grid position to reveal a special symbol (Coins, Diamonds, Clovers, Loot Bags or Reload). If a Coin is hit again, it upgrades to the next tier; if a Green Clover is hit again, it upgrades to a Gold Clover.
- Bronze Coin: reveals a fixed cash prize of x1, x2, x3 or x4 of the stake.
- Silver Coin: reveals a fixed cash prize of x5, x10, x15 or x20 of the stake.
- Gold Coin: reveals a fixed cash prize of x25, x50 or x100 of the stake.
- Diamond: reveals a fixed cash prize of x150, x250 or x500 of the stake, acting as the top tier of the Coin family.
- Green Clover: after all Coins and Diamonds have shown their values, multiplies every Coin, Diamond and active Loot Bag on adjacent positions by one random multiplier from x2, x3, x4, x5, x10 or x20. If it is shot again by a Revolver Cylinder, it upgrades into a Gold Clover.
- Gold Clover: multiplies every Coin, Diamond and active Loot Bag anywhere on the grid by one random multiplier from x2, x3, x4, x5, x10 or x20.
- Loot Bag (bulging money sack): when activated, collects the values of all revealed Coins, Diamonds and other activated Loot Bags and stores their combined total as a single cash value. That stored value can then be multiplied further by Clovers before everything is finally paid out.
- Reload (yellow “Reload” cartridge symbol): when revealed, refills every active Revolver Cylinder with between 2 and 6 additional shots, allowing more special symbols to be uncovered. Only one Reload can be active on the grid at a time; once all Reload and Clover actions have resolved, the cylinders begin firing again.
- Bullet Collector (revolver-chamber meter beside the grid): appears in the higher-tier bonus modes and stores bullets earned from wins. When it activates, Smokey fires all collected bullets at the grid, and each hit position reveals extra Coin, Diamond, Clover or Loot Bag symbols before the usual reveal process continues.
Bonus Choice
Le Cowboy runs several layered features on top of the cluster-pays base, with free spins tiers and gambles built around how far Smokey is willing to push his luck.
- High Noon Saloon Free Spins — triggered by landing 3 FS Scatter badges at the same time in the base game. The round awards 10 free spins and keeps the full Revolver Reveal setup, but with a boosted chance of cylinders appearing. Additional Scatters within the bonus add extra spins, with 2 scatters giving +2 and 3 scatters giving +4.
- Trail of Trickery Free Spins — triggered by landing 4 FS scatters in the base game or by winning the upgrade from the first gamble. This mode again starts with 10 free spins and adds a Bullet Collector beside the grid that stores bullets earned from wins. On the final free spin, after all cylinders and Reload symbols have finished, the Bullet Collector fires every stored bullet at the grid to reveal extra special symbols, before the usual reveal and collection sequence plays out.
- Pistols at Dawn hidden epic bonus — triggered either by landing 5 FS scatters at once in the base game or by winning the final upgrade from the second gamble. This top level keeps the Trail of Trickery layout but turns the Bullet Collector progressive: it starts with 5 bullets and activates on every free spin after the cylinders and Reload have resolved, then resets to the last collected value and continues to grow. Only higher-tier Coin symbols appear here, FS symbols are disabled, and once the 10 spins are done the feature ends without any retrigger.
- Bonus Gamble feature — whenever a free spins mode is awarded, a separate gamble screen appears. Instead of taking the current bonus as is, you can choose to risk it for a chance to move up to a stronger free spins level or collect an instant cash prize. Outcomes range from keeping the original bonus, through cash awards starting from around x1–x4 and climbing into the x5–x20 and x25–x100 bands, up to rare top outcomes that can pay as much as x500 of the stake or jump straight into the Pistols at Dawn bonus.
Summary
Le Cowboy slot plays with a steady, energetic rhythm: cascades link into each other, cylinders keep firing after a Reload when you least expect it, and Clovers with Loot Bags can turn an otherwise quiet spin into a small shootout. The feature ladder is well-spaced — the base game leans on coin upgrades, High Noon Saloon steps up the cylinder frequency, Trail of Trickery adds pressure with its Bullet Collector, and Pistols at Dawn turns every spin into a compact burst of chaos.
The medium volatility feels honest: the game doesn’t drag through long dry stretches, but it also doesn’t throw out big hits without making you work for them. And if you want to stay in Smokey’s world a bit longer, you can always move on to Le Bandit or Le Zeus.
