Hacksaw Gaming is back with another addition to their popular “Le” series — this time with Le Zeus. Following the likes of Le Bandit and Le Pharaoh, Le Zeus brings a mix of familiar mechanics, some fresh twists, and a few questionable features.
Due for release on September 11, 2025, you can already try Le Zeus for free in the 10p Gamer Arcade and see if it’s worth your bankroll when it lands in casinos.

Bonus Hunt Spins
Like many Hacksaw titles, Le Zeus offers Bonus Hunt Spins — 3x your bet for 5x the chance to land a bonus. These are fine for chasing features, but not the main attraction here.
Bolt & Run Bonus (Standard Bonus)
Triggered by three lightning bolt symbols, the Bolt & Run Bonus drops mystery symbols that stick for the round. These can transform into:
- Any paying symbol
- Coin symbols (like Le Bandit)
On paper, it sounds promising. In reality, it’s often disappointing. Mystery symbols can flip into useless symbols, and coins don’t appear often enough to make the round exciting. Even with extra spins possible, most results are low-value — think a couple of quid back from a feature buy.
Verdict: Weak, low-payout potential most of the time.
Myth-Taken Identity (Super Bonus)
Here’s where Le Zeus redeems itself. Land four scatters for the Super Bonus, and the gameplay changes up. Each lightning bolt you land fills a meter. Fill it completely, and you’ll trigger a full screen of coins.
You can trigger multiple full-screen coin drops in one bonus, and these can include:
- Standard coins
- Gold coins
- Clovers
- Even diamond coins for bigger wins
It’s still hit-and-miss, but when it hits, it can deliver some very satisfying results.
Verdict: The highlight of the game. Engaging, high potential, and worth chasing.
God Mode Spins
At 50x your bet, God Mode Spins throw at least six mystery symbols onto the reels. These can turn into coins (and sometimes pots for re-spins), but there’s no guarantee they’ll do anything special.
While you can hit some nice wins, they’re expensive and prone to disappointing results — sometimes filling the screen with mystery symbols that turn into nothing useful.
Verdict: Risky, expensive, and inconsistent.
Final Thoughts
Le Zeus is a mixed bag. The Super Bonus is genuinely exciting and offers strong win potential, but the standard bonus and God Mode feature spins feel underwhelming for their cost.
Pros:
- Super Bonus is fun and rewarding
- Coin mechanic fans will enjoy the familiar feel
- Medium volatility offers more frequent hits than some Le games
Cons:
- Standard bonus is weak
- God Mode spins feel overpriced for the returns
- Mystery symbols can often be dead weight
If you’re going to play Le Zeus for real money, I’d recommend holding out for the Super Bonus. Until release day, you can try it free in the 10p Gamer Arcade and decide for yourself.
