The Goonies Return Slot Review – Blueprint Gaming
It has been a couple of weeks since my last Blueprint Gaming slot review, the last was for the game titled ‘Rick And Morty‘. Which has a max win capped at 10,000x and a big range of exciting features. Today we are learning all about ‘The Goonies Return‘, which is available to play now!
The original Goonies slot was released on 25th November 2018 and is still a very popular pick within the casino community. The visual style is similar to the previous game, with more detail and a new modern take. Symbols are represented by characters from the movie and the standard 9 – A low paying symbols. The background artwork is filled with different treasures such as coins and gems.
The Goonies Return has a classic setup of 5 reels by 3 rows, this includes 20 set pay lines. This slot is medium variance with a set RTP of 96% and a max win capped at 50,000x. You can bet from £0.10 – £100.
The Goonies Return Pay Table & Symbols
There are 11 symbols in total, this includes 4 low-paying symbols. These are represented by J, Q, K, and A. There are also 5 premium symbols, these are represented by 4 different characters and a skull flag. In addition to these regular symbols is a skeleton bonus scatter and a wild symbol. The highest paying symbol is the skull flag premium, which pays 50x for 5 across a pay line. Wilds substitute for all symbols except the bonus scatter.

Landing 3 or more bonus scatters during a base game spin will trigger the ‘One-eyed willy Bonus‘. A wheel will be spun to reveal which of the 6 bonuses will be awarded. If you risk gambling this feature, there is a chance of being awarded a better feature. Or instead being awarded a mystery win and returning to the base game without a bonus feature. The 6 possible bonuses are;
Booby Trap Bonus– Turn the key left or right to reveal prizes. This can award cash prizes, a different bonus feature, and eventually collect.
