How Hacksaw’s Le Fisherman paid out a max win for ProphetGG
Kick streamer ProphetGG looked close to wrapping up his run on developer Hacksaw Gaming’s new slot Le Fisherman when the game suddenly exploded with a max win seemingly out of nowhere. Here’s how it happened, and what players will need to look for if they want to recreate such a result for themselves.
Hacksaw’s Le Fisherman is the latest colorful entry in the provider’s long-running series, which already includes such titles as Le Bandit, Le King, Le Santa, and others. While each release has its own theme, most share similar RTP ranges and high-volatility profiles. A familiar face also returns here: Smokey the Raccoon, who once again shows off a new outfit, continuing his role as the official mascot of the series.
In Le Fisherman, Smokey swaps his usual getup for a fisherman’s outfit, sitting by a quiet pond and waiting for something big to bite. Whether that “big fish” actually shows up comes down to pure variance, and Le Fisherman sits at a solid 96.3% RTP.
ProphetGG rewarded for his patience on Le Fisherman slot
Unlike most other games in the series, Le Fisherman is a lower-volatility slot. This speaks to how rare the 15,000x max win payout result really is, as its winnings are typically spread out more evenly. This is exactly why ProphetGG was so shocked to come up with a max win at the conclusion of his Le Fisherman session.
That The session played out with ProphetGG playing a SC100 base bet on Stake, which boasts one of the best social casinos available online. Early in a bonus round, the board filled with a mix of low-value coins, and a few stronger tiles including 10s, 25s, 50s, and 75s, while clover symbols also began appearing across different positions. Each clover upgrades nearby coin values, which is how the board quietly built up rather than paying all at once.
The turning point here came when the Epic Fish feature landed, which can herald a big result on Le Fisherman.

That symbol acts as a collector, sweeping up all visible coin values on the grid in a single step rather than resolving them individually. At that moment, the board was already dense, with upgraded coins spread across most positions. When the Epic Fish triggered, it instantly locked in a SC3,000 payout.
Immediately after that collection, the game displayed the “Limit Reached” message, confirming that the maximum win for a single round had been hit. Right after seeing the message, ProphetGG announces that Hacksaw Gaming would get another day’s grace in his eyes, fully forgetting his earlier frustration with the slot upon hitting such an outstanding result.
The chat also exploded with “max win” calls as he stood up mid-stream, hands in the air, while the board confirmed the cap.
For those curious to try Le Fisherman for themselves, the slot is available on Stake.US, and our Stake.US review shows it to be arguably the best social platform for playing slots.
