The cult action-adventure movie, The Goonies served as inspiration for an online slot with the same title, launched by Blueprint Gaming software provider in 2017. Packed with stills and music from the movie, this slot evokes memories and nostalgia for those who loved this movie when they were children. At the same time, it offers a profitable and fun playing experience due to the abundance of features. The RTP is set at the average 96.00%.
A 5-reel, 3-row grid is placed against the backdrop of a treasure map and is configured to 20 fixed paylines that support bets from as low as $0.10 and as high as $10.00 per spin. The slot pays left to right for a minimum of 3 identical symbols appearing on adjacent reels on a winline. You can start the game by pressing Spin or by initiating Autoplay, which makes the game continue automatically up to 100 times.
Playing card Royals represent low-value symbols that deliver 5x and 10x the bet for 5 of a kind. Landing 5 Scales filled with gold or Skeletons will reward you with 20x your wager. Obtaining 5 Ship or Treasure Chest symbols issues 30x the bet. The Pirate flag is the top paying symbols that lands super stacked and brings payouts of 50x the stake when 5 are on a payline. Wild is depicted with a Coin that replaces all icons but Scatter when completing win combinations. It also awards a prize 50x your bet when 5 appear on a winline.
The base game has 6 modifiers in store that could help you find the way to One Eyed Willy’s treasure. You will be looking at added Scatters and extra Wilds, 3 adjacent reels can turn into a Colossal one, you can get a spin with a guaranteed win, or a Mystery symbol can hit turning chosen symbols into matching ones. After any no-win spin, two additional random features can be activated to help you score a win. 3 or more Skull Scatters anywhere on the reels will activate the One Eyed Willy’s Bonus. Spinning the Wheel grants you one of the six Bonuses: Super Sloth, Skeleton Organ, Inferno, Goonies go Wild or Fratelli Hide Out.
Though the potential is obvious and there are more than a few features that could bring huge wins, the gameplay doesn’t prove as rewarding as we would wish. The Bonus is also hard to get and we know that’s where the greatest win capacity is stored. If you are patient enough and love movie-themed slots, you should check The Goonies out whenever and wherever you want, for it can be played on mobiles and tablets, with the same quality of design available on desktop.
