The Goonies Slot Overview

The Goonies is a classic casino slot from Blueprint Gaming based on a 1985 American adventure comedy film with the same name. In the film, a group of seven kids in the town of Astoria, Oregon, are out to find the treasure of One-Eyed Willie, which they believe is buried in the local caves. Veterans reading this will undoubtedly be familiar with the title, as the movie became a massive success in the 80s and was nominated for several prestigious awards. To be honest, the film hasn’t aged very well, but entering this game and hearing the soundtrack sparked an extraordinarily nostalgic feeling. All the visuals, animations, and references truly do the movie justice, so let’s find out if the gameplay does as well!

The Goonies is a video slot from Blueprint Gaming with 5 reels, 3 rows, and 20 paylines. Players can choose between a Min.bet of 0.10 and a Max.bet of 20. The game has an RTP of 96%, which is considered to be the industry average. The Goonies is played at medium volatility and have a stated max win of 50.000x the bet, but we doubt that anyone has ever won that much. 

The movie was a great adventure, and you’ll have yourself an amazing one as well here. An abundance of various mechanics is hidden within the features Wild Symbol, Scatter Symbol, One Eyed Willy’s Riches, and One Eyed Willy’s Bonus. 

The Goonies Slot Information

The grid is placed on top of a map on a wooden table. The map itself is a replica of the treasure map used in the film, which is a nice touch. It’s clear that a lot of effort has gone into making it as faithful to the film as possible. The visuals and animations are excellent, and the soundtrack is spot-on. Even if you’re not familiar with The Goonies, it’s an appealing slot with plenty of things going on and satisfying visuals. 

The Goonies can be played on all common mobile devices and desktops. A winning combination is created by landing 3 or more (or 2 flags) matching symbols on consecutive reels within the game’s lines, starting from the leftmost reel.

The lower-paying symbols consist of J, Q, K, and A. A full line of 5 with one of these will pay 2.5x-5x the bet. The higher-paying symbols include references from the show: bone organ, pirate ship, treasure chest, treasure scale, and pirate flag. Five-of-a-kind with one of these pays 10x-25x the bet. The Wild symbol substitutes for other paying symbols, and landing 3 or more Bonus (Scatter) symbols triggers the One Eyed Willy’s Bonus.

One Eyed Willy’s Riches

During any spin, the skeleton on the right side can start glowing. It will blink blue twice and then blue, green, or red at the third. If it’s blue, nothing will happen. If it’s green or red, you will get to click on one of three symbols, revealing a feature. The following features are available:

Mikey’s Hidden Treasure: A big stone will smack the reels. If it sticks, that reel will be turned into a Wild reel. At least one reel is guaranteed to turn Wild. 

Mouth’s Lucky Coins: A bunch of coins will be added to the reels. These will all reveal the same symbol.

Slot’s Win Spin: Symbols are removed and a winning combination of at least 5x the bet is created.

Data’s Colossal Symbols: A 3x3 block containing a random symbol is created. All symbols, including Scatter and Wild, can be included.

Chunk’s Truffle Shuffle: A random number of Wilds are added to the grid. 

One Eyed Willy’s Bonus Boost: Additional Scatter symbols are added to the spin, increasing your chance of triggering One Eyed Willy’s Bonus. 

If the skeleton glows red when triggering this feature, all features will be boosted and generally pay more. 

One Eyed Willy’s Bonus

Landing 3 or more Scatter symbols triggers One Eyed Willy’s Bonus. First, you’ll get to spin a wheel containing the 6 different Bonus Games. If you’re unhappy with the feature you got, you can choose to gamble it. A new wheel will appear, containing the next bonus in line and “mystery win”. If you land on the bonus, you can choose to either play that or gamble again. If you land on a mystery win, a cash prize will be awarded, and you’ll be sent back to the base game. The following Bonus Games are available:

Fratelli Hideout = Three keys will appear. These can contain cash prizes, bonus games, and collect. The feature ends when you pick a bonus game key or a collect key. The collect key will collect your cash prizes and send you back to the base game.

Skeleton Organ Bonus = 19 bones will appear. Underneath, cash prizes, wooden skull symbols, and skeleton flags are available. If you collect 3 wooden skull symbols, you will progress to the next Bonus Game. If you collect 3 flags, the feature ends. 

Super Sloth Free Spins = You are awarded 10 Free Spins, and during each spin, Super Sloth symbols will turn all Goonies symbols into Pirate Flags, which is the best-paying symbol.

The Goonies Go Wild Free Spins = You are awarded 5 Free Spins. After each spin, a Goonie is transformed into a Wild symbol. Thus, on the last spin, all Goonies are Wild symbols. 

Inferno Free Spins = A pirate ship will sail behind the reels, moving from right to left after each spin. This will turn 1-3 reels into Wild reels every time the ship stops. The feature ends when the ship has sailed off. 

One Eyed Willy’s Treasure = In this bonus game, there are 4 different prizes you can land on. Green gems award a cash multiplier, Red gems multipliers your current win, and the Diamond increases cash and win multipliers. The feature ends when the scale tips over.

After Super Sloth Free Spins, The Goonies Go Wild, and Inferno Free Spins, you’ll get to pick a key, which will either let you have another go or collect the bonus. 

The Goonies Slot Conclusion

Books turned into movies, and movies turned into video games, are more often than not received poorly. Some examples of exceptions are Game of Thrones and The Lord of the Rings. Now, slot games are a lot more simple than entire movies and tv-series, but we want to give props to Blueprint. The Goonies is an extraordinarily engaging slot with more features than we can remember having seen in a game before. If you're a Blueprint enthusiast, this shouldn't come as a surprise, though. Games like Ted Cash Lock and Ted Megaways are also stacked with exciting features, keeping you on your toes at all times.

What’s worth noting is that this is not a highly volatile slot. You can expect an action-packed session with plenty of features, but wins above 100-200x is relatively rare. It has a stated max win of 50.000x, but we can’t see how that would be possible. It’d have to take a crazy round in One Eyed Willy’s Treasure because that’s the only feature where it would be mathematically possible as we see it. However, you don’t have to win 50.000x to have a fun time, and we guarantee that most of you will have an exhilarating adventure in The Goonies. 

The Goonies by Blueprint does this beloved movie justice with its plethora of engaging mechanics and features.
