- A maximum win of 15,000x the bet
- Golden Squares that hide coins, clovers and collectors on a 6×5 cluster pays grid
- Three bonus games with 10 free spins each, including a hidden Epic bonus
Le Vampire is a Hacksaw Gaming slot released on 1 October 2026. Smokey the raccoon, who has already starred in several of the studio’s games, has moved into a castle full of bats. This time he is a vampire, keeping out of the sunlight as he makes his way towards the treasury. Hacksaw rates its volatility as medium, at 3 out of 5.
Most of the action happens in the squares behind the symbols. Wins mark the squares, and Rainbow symbols open them up to show coins and collectors. The three bonus games use the same idea, and which one you play depends on how many FS symbols land together. Another game from the same series on the site is Le Pharaoh.
Base Game
Le Vampire uses a 6×5 grid with cluster pays, so there are no paylines. A win is made by a group of five or more matching symbols that touch each other across the grid, rather than by symbols lined up from left to right.
Golden Squares
Every win turns the squares it covered into Golden Squares. When a Rainbow symbol lands, it activates the Golden Squares and shows what is behind each one:
- Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond coins, which pay instant cash prizes
- Green Clovers, which boost the values of nearby coins
- Gold Clovers, which boost the values of every coin on the grid
- Bags of Gold, which collect coins and activated Bags or Pots of Gold in the squares next to them
- Pots of Gold, which collect all coins and activated Bags or Pots of Gold
Epic Rainbows and Blood Rain
The Epic Rainbow is a stronger version of the Rainbow, and it reveals special symbols on every position on the grid. It also has a chance to start Blood Rain, which turns every position into a Blood Square. Blood Squares work just like Golden Squares, except that they never show a Bronze coin.

Bonus Games
Landing three or more FS symbols at the same time starts one of three bonus games. Each one gives 10 free spins and has a Symbol Bar that awards extra free spins and Rainbow symbols as it fills up.
Coffin Break is triggered by three FS symbols and is the standard version of the bonus.
Love at First Bite is triggered by four FS symbols. Here, the squares stay highlighted even after they have been activated, rather than being cleared.
Do Your Fang is the hidden Epic bonus, triggered by five FS symbols. A Rainbow or Epic Rainbow is guaranteed on every spin, and once the Symbol Bar reaches level 4, every spin after that gets an Epic Rainbow.
Bonus Buy
Where the feature is offered, there are several options to buy spins with extra features or go straight into a bonus game. Bonus buys are not available in the UK, so this feature does not appear in versions of the game played by UK customers.
Overall
Le Vampire takes the square-marking system from earlier games in the series and adds Epic Rainbows, Blood Squares and a Symbol Bar on top. There is a lot going on, but it all comes back to the same simple idea of marking squares and opening them. Fans of cluster pays and of Smokey’s other adventures should feel right at home.
