Cash Noire Slot

Graphics

Hallmarks of noire thrillers include shadowy sets, dark detectives and femme fatales, and all are present and correct on the Cash Noire slot. The reels are set against the moody backdrop of the Black Cat Detective Agency office. Evelyn, the femme fatale of the piece, sprawls on a window ledge, smoking in the dark.

Each symbol disappears quicker than a murder weapon thanks to NetEnt’s Avalance feature that made Gonzo’s Quest so popular. The symbols disappear to the sound of a slashing knife, amping up the tension even further. The lower paying symbols include Whiskey, Knife, Gun, Magnifying Glass, Playing Card and Matches, with the high payers reserved for the shady characters of the piece. Each with a past. Each with something to hide.

The Mystery Symbol NetEnt made so famous in top notch slots like Motörhead returns, and if it appears inside the Crime Zone it clones to cover the entire Crime Zone with Mystery symbols.

Gameplay

A three symbol grid is highlighted on the reels, outlined in red. This is the Crime Zone, The Crime Zone changes position at the start of each spin, and every winning symbol that appears inside it lights up one of the clues on the clue board to the left of the reels. This is much less the slots version of Sherlock Holmes and much more hard-hitting, breathless slots action.

One we collect three clues the Crime Zone expands to cover four symbols, and once we collect six clues it expands once more to cover five symbols. We must collect all the clues to find Pit Viper and trigger the Free Spins with City Chase Map and Multiplier. Sure it’s a mouthful, but it’s well worth taking a swig.

The Crime Zone area is stretched to five symbols across, in this feature. Now every winning symbol inside the crime zone advances our car along the city map to the left of the reels. Collect additional spins and win multipliers as we move along the map, with the final resting point - where Evelyn is hidden - awarding a x10 multiplier and three final spins before the Free Spins wins are awarded.

Verdict

If Brian de Palma were to make slots, this would be it. It has everything. A femme fatale, a shadowy villain, clues, mystery, a car chase. It might be a low-medium volatility slot, but it isn’t short of high octane action and can deliver serious wins to boot. NetEnt is at its tongue-in-cheek best to deliver this thrilling noir action.

Sherlock Holmes and Jack Hammer can move over. There’s a new Private Detective in town, and he’s the only one there’s any room for in this city.
