Arizona James and the Lost Relics

Arizona James and the Lost Relics Overview

Arizona James and the Lost Relics is a cluster pays slot from Hacksaw Gaming on a 6x5 grid, with an RTP of 96.28%, a medium volatility rating and a maximum win of 25,000x the bet. It was released on 17 August 2026.

It is built on the engine of one of the studio’s Le Bandit sequels, with the raccoon swapped for a treasure hunter and the Parisian streets for a jungle temple. The core ideas carry over: cascading clusters, a wild that turns into a revolver, and a chain of bonus rounds you can gamble your way up.

All figures below were read from demo play at a bet of €5.00.

Into the Jungle Temple

The grid sits in a stone frame against dense jungle, with a crumbling temple in the background and James himself standing to the right of the reels, pistol raised. In the bonus rounds the scene moves indoors, to a torch-lit tomb lined with gold pharaoh statues.

The premium symbols are the guardians of the tomb: a golden pharaoh mummy, a blue mummy, a purple Anubis figure, a green snake and a gold scorpion. The low symbols are the royals from 10 to A, carved in jungle colours. Scarab amulets are the free spins scatters, and a gold revolver cylinder is the wild.

Clusters and Super Cascades

Wins need five or more identical symbols touching horizontally or vertically anywhere on the grid. When a cluster pays, the game does more than remove it: every instance of that symbol on the grid disappears, including those outside the winning group. This is what the game calls Super Cascades.

New symbols then drop in, and the sequence continues for as long as fresh clusters form. Clearing a whole symbol type at once opens large gaps, which makes the next cluster much more likely than in a standard cascade.

The Paytable

The table runs in six bands, from 5 symbols up to 14 or more. At a €5 bet the pharaoh pays 5.00 for a cluster of five and 1,000.00 for 14 or more, which is 1x to 200x the bet.

The blue mummy and Anubis pay up to 500.00 (100x), and the snake and scorpion up to 375.00 (75x). The royals top out at 250.00 (50x) for 14 or more and pay 1.00 for a group of five.

The steep part of every ladder is the last step. A cluster of 12 or 13 pharaohs pays 250.00, while 14 or more pays four times that. In our session an Anubis cluster paid 3.00 and a large blue mummy group 10.00 – the small, frequent base-game wins that keep the balance moving between features.

Pistol Reveals

The wild is where the game really starts. When a winning cluster contains a wild, the wild turns into a Pistol Cylinder loaded with 2 to 6 bullets. Once all cascades are over, James fires every bullet at random positions on the grid.

Each shot reveals one of four special symbols. Coins carry cash prizes in four grades: bronze worth 1x to 4x, silver 5x to 20x, gold 25x, 50x or 100x and diamond 150x, 250x or 500x the bet. A coin hit a second time is upgraded to the next grade.

Emerald Amulets multiply coins and relics on adjacent squares, and Gold Amulets multiply every coin and relic on the grid, both with values of x2, x3, x4, x5, x10 or x20. Sacred Relics are collectors that sweep up the value of all coins and other relics. A single Reload symbol adds 2 to 6 new bullets to every cylinder, and the whole reveal repeats.

Cursed Temple and the Bonus Gamble

Three scarab scatters at once trigger Cursed Temple, a round of 10 free spins with a higher chance of pistol cylinders. Two extra scatters add 2 spins and three add 4.

Before it starts, you may gamble the round by picking one of four Holy Grails. One grail upgrades you to Tomb of Gold; the other three end the bonus with a cash prize of 1x to 4x, 5x to 20x or 25x to 100x. It is a genuine choice with real downside, and the game shows the return for each path: 96.40% if you never gamble a bonus won in the base game, 96.37% if you gamble once and 96.28% if you gamble twice.

Tomb of Gold and the Bullet Collector

Four scatters, or a lucky grail, open Tomb of Gold: 10 free spins with a Bullet Collector beside the grid. Every winning cluster adds one bullet, and after the last spin James fires them all, triggering a full Pistol Reveal.

This round can be gambled too, now with eight grails: one leads to the hidden epic bonus, and the rest pay between 5x and 500x. Our bought round ended with the collector emptied over a grid full of bronze and silver coins, two x2 amulets and a total of €507.00 on the meter.

The Crystal Caverns

Five scatters trigger the hidden Crystal Caverns directly. It gives 10 free spins with no retriggers, removes bronze coins, and makes the Bullet Collector progressive: it starts at 5, fires after every spin and resets only to its last collected value. This is the round built for the 25,000x ceiling.

Bonus Buy Menu

At a €5 bet the menu offered four options. BonusHunt FeatureSpins cost €15.00 per spin (3x) and make a bonus five times more likely. Into the Wild FeatureSpins cost €375.00 (75x) and guarantee at least two wilds.

Cursed Temple costs €325.00 (65x) and is rated medium volatility; Tomb of Gold costs €1,250.00 (250x) and is rated high. Both buys still offer the gamble, and their return falls from 96.33% to about 96.1% if you use it twice.

Who Should Play It

Arizona James and the Lost Relics suits players who enjoyed the Le Bandit games and want the same depth in a different setting. The Pistol Reveal is one of the most involved base-game features around, and the gamble ladder gives real decisions inside the bonus.

The reservations are the familiar ones: this is a reskin rather than a new design, and the top prizes sit behind the rarest round in the game. The medium volatility rating is honest for the base game, but the bonus rounds can swing a long way in either direction.
