How to play PopNoir

Walk the rain-slick streets of a city where every clue brings you closer to the Golden Idol. Your job is to push all five reels to six rows high in one sequence. Do that and the case breaks open, awarding free spins on the tall grid where reels can stretch to eight rows and a win multiplier climbs after every hit. PopNoir is a high volatility, multiway PopWins slot from AvatarUX. It starts on a 5x3 grid where winning symbols pop off and add two new symbols, increasing reel height. Reels can expand to 6 rows in the base game and up to 8 rows in free spins. Fully expanding all reels to 6 rows in the base game awards 2 free spins on the expanded grid. Sweep the board with an upgraded Golden Idol symbol and a high multiplier in free spins, and it pays up to 20,000x your stake. Here is how you play.

Pick a stake and spin the 5x3 grid.
Watch for 3 or more matching symbols on consecutive reels from either side to form a win.
Winning symbols pop off the reels, and two new symbols drop into their place, increasing the reel height by one row.
Continue popping wins to expand reels up to 6 rows high in the base game.
If all reels reach 6 rows high in one sequence, 2 free spins begin on the expanded grid.
In free spins, reels can grow to 8 rows high, and a multiplier increases with each win.
