Slot Features
After first win landed you will notice that the game features cascading mechanic, and each win combo will trigger an Avalanche. Symbols involved in win combo will be removed from the reels and make space for new ones to fall onto the reels.
Mystery Symbol
If no wins occur after either a spin or an Avalanche, the Mystery symbol will transform into a regular symbol. If it is out of the Crime Zone it will reveal a random symbol, if it lands within the Crime Zone then it will clone itself throughout the pattern revealing a random symbol.
Crime Zone
Crime Zone is easy to spot, it’s red outlines that will begin with taking up to 3 spots. Each win inside the Crime Zone will activate the Clue List. The Zone pattern increases up to 4 and 5 spots when a certain number of clues is activated.
Clue List
This is basically a meter that shows the progress of the game which leads to Free Spins round. When you manage to find between 3 and 6 clues the Zone will expand and cover 4 spots. Finding 7 clues expands it to 5 spots, and when you find 13 clues you will activate the Free Spins round.
Free Spins with City Chase
You will start the feature with 6 spins and an activated multiplier and 5-spot Crime Zone pattern. Multiplier starts at x1 that is growing by one with each 7 locations you cross. Additionally, the meter will display the positions where the Multiplier will progress, and you will get the chance to win Extra Spins.
Symbols in the Crime Zone that make win bet way will unlock the same amount of locations on the City Chase map. Depending on the markers, you can win either 2 Extra Spins each time you land on it, or between x1 and x10 multiplier. The last marker of the City Chase Map is the x10 multiplier and 3 Extra Spins. Once this happens the map will disappear, and you will get to close the case as resolved.
Summary
Cash Noir has everything right on spot, from design and gameplay to animation and features. They even added a nice touch in form of voiceovers that really add up to the entire atmosphere NetEnt tried to create. Overall, it’s a thrilling game with lot of things going on. It has 96.06% RTP and medium volatility. If you think you have what it takes to uncover the murder, then you should definitely take this game for a few spins.
Some may think that NetEnt game designers had gone bonkers when they created this Cash Noire game, but NetEnt games have actually been going down the drain since quite a while back. Most of their newer games are simply rubbish, with seabed bottom win values, and are literally incredibly hard-to-win games. This Cash Noire game almost fell into that same ditch, if not for its outstanding graphics, its extended playtime characteristics and an exciting soundtrack to keep players glued to the game for hours.
Let’s first look into the game’s paytable. The first thing to note is that there are absolutely no Wild, Scatter or Bonus symbols in the game, so that may make you wonder how then can any feature game be triggered. Basically, Cash Noire plays with cascading symbols, on 5 reels and 4 rows, and plays with 1024 ways to win. The cascading of winning symbols in this game can go on and on for many times consecutively, unlike any other game I have ever come across before. During play, there is an active Crime Zone on the reels, whereby winning symbols in that zone would move the marker up on the Clues Map, ending with a trigger of a free spins feature game. There are lots of steps to complete, so reaching that free spins marker can actually take a few hours! Now that can be exasperating, to say the least!
If the free spins game is triggered, 6 initial free spins are awarded, but more free spins can be won from the Chase Map, the marker being moved by winning symbols in the Crime Zone. There are also win multipliers along the way on the Chase Map, ending with a 10x multiplier and getting 3 more free spins. You really need to get to this final point in order to win big, otherwise, all the wins would be very disappointing indeed. That’s because all the symbols in this game have incredibly low win values, from just 4x down to 0.2x the bet amount. That’s what I meant by seabed bottom win values! In the base game, you may hardly ever get to see any wins of 10x or more, only during the free spins play would you see bigger wins.
There is also a Mystery Box symbol in play, transforming into one symbol whenever no more cascading win is encountered. If its in the Crime Zone when transforming, then it fills the entire zone with one same symbol, up to 5 same symbols at any one time. This would move the marker a lot faster up the Clues or the Chase Map. Each time when there is no winning symbol in the Crime Zone, it goes back to its initial 3 grids size.
Having said all that, I’m quite surprised that I actually like this game, despite all the things not good about it! There was one point in my playing session that took a few hours just to trigger one free spins feature game! Yes, you read that right – a few hours! Most would have cursed the game for the unbelievable difficulty in triggering the free spins, but patience may just pay a little back. I managed to reach the final point of 10x multiplier, got 3 extra free spins, but the final payout was quite a disappointing 262x win only. Gees, after all those hours of trying! Strangely or not, I played the game a few more times after that session, simply because I just love its thrilling soundtrack!
