I think it’s safe to say the 80s left behind some incredibly weird fads, fashions, and memorable hairstyles but one of the greatest legacy’s it did leave behind is a plethora of excellent movies including the Goonies for one.Micky, Chunk, Data, and Mouth were the four characters on a mission to find stolen treasure from the infamous One-Eyed Willie. Blueprint Gaming launched The Goonies branded slot back in 2018 and it fast became a hit with players. The gang is now back with a sequel The Goonies Return.

About The Goonies Return

Played across 5 reels and 20 paylines, it’s available to play on desktop and mobile devices from 10p up to £10 per spin. The slot’s volatility angles around medium to high with an average RTP of 96%.A blurred treasure map forms the backdrop to the game. On the reels, you’ll find the lower value royals, alongside all four characters, and a skull n crossbones symbol. The Doubloon wild can land on any reel, creating its own combinations.

Gameplay

There are a fair few features in The Goonies Return, 6 One-Eyed Willy Modifiers can trigger randomly on a spin and award various extras from Wilds, symbols turning wild, synched reels, mystery symbols, bonus, and cash symbols, and winning spins.In addition to the above modifiers, on a winless spin there are another four modifiers to look out for:The Scythe – Reels reset to winShooting Spikes – Removes columns to create winsDynamite – Thrown onto the reels for win upgradesCave Collapse – Symbols are removed, and new ones replace them to hopefully creating a win.After landing 3 bonus symbols you now spin a wheel to reveal various prizes including cash prizes, free spins, cash symbol spins, symbol transformation, and the One-Eyed Willy Riches.The latter is a Hold & Win feature starting with 3 re-spins. If cash or characters symbols land the spins reset to 3. There’s also a gamble feature, mystery prize win, and the One-Eyed Willy Exchange, if you win 15x the bet or more you can either take the prize or gamble for a chance to win a bonus feature.

Verdict

The Goonies Return pays homage to an iconic film in the same way the first slot title did. The features are in abundance and many trigger randomly adding to the excitement throughout gameplay.
