How to Win The Goonies
There are only four main ways to win The Goonies slot, but players are given lots of opportunities to boost their payouts. You can land three or more matching symbols, or land two pirate flag symbols.
If you are lucky enough to trigger one of the six modifiers, you will be awarded one of several ‘helpers’, such as bonus symbols, or wilds. Lastly, landing three of the One-Eyed Willy scatter symbols will trigger one of the bonus games and more free spins or mini-games.
Special Features & Bonuses
The Goonies has random modifiers in the base game, as well as a whole host of bonus features to help you get closer to scooping some serious treasure. Here's how you can activate each feature:
Base Game Modifiers
These can be randomly triggered at any point in the game to get you closer to winning:
- Sloth’s Win Spin: Sloth triggers his own modifier, turning random symbols into Super Stacked Wilds
- Data’s Colossal Symbols: Data uses his boxing glove device to force colossal symbols to appear
- Chunk’s Truffle Shuffle: Chunk performs his iconic Truffle Shuffle to shuffle wilds across the reels and increase winning potential
- Mouth’s Lucky Coins: Uncover lucky coins to change certain symbols into matching clusters
- One-Eyed Willie’s Bonus Boost: Bonus symbols stretch across the reels to trigger the Bonus Wheel
- Mikey’s Hidden Treasure: A Mikey stacked reel can turn any of the reels fully wild
If you land three bonus symbols, you can spin the bonus wheel to determine which of the following six bonus rounds you play:
Fratelli Hideout
You will be shown three skeletons and asked to choose one to earn the corresponding outcome. One is Cash Add, one Collect, and the rarest, Hidden Tunnel. Each Cash Add will add to your winnings, while Collect will end the round. The Hidden Tunnel allows you to unlock any of the other five bonuses described below.
Skeleton Organ Bonus
This time, you need to choose organ keys to determine your outcome. An Upgrade symbol will unlock access to the tidal stake multipliers, while three keys will unlock more of the bonuses below. However, watch out for skull and crossbones as landing three of those will mean game over.
Super Sloth Free Spins
You will be taken to a new set of Fratelli Symbols where extra winnings are up for grabs. As before, Collect will end the round, but a treasure chest will increase your spins, and One-Eyed Willy’s Treasure Bonus will take you to that feature.
Goonies Go Wild Free Spins
Here, symbols change to wilds to grant you new prizes such as One-Eyed Willy’s Treasure Bonus, extra spins, or the feature may end.
Inferno Free Spins
Again, symbols become wilds and can grant you extra spins or the One-Eyed Willy’s Treasure Bonus. Here, though, the feature could end, or you could retrigger it.
One-Eyed Willy’s Treasure Bonus
You will need to land five bonus symbols to trigger this feature, and you will win a total stake multiplier.
Design & Theme
Blueprint has really gone to town with elements of The Goonies story and characters popping up throughout the slot. The game employs the same deftness of touch that other Blueprint games is lauded for and the attention to detail is exquisite.
One-Eyed Willy’s ship even sports authentic-looking cobwebs. In addition to cut-scenes and animations, the gang themselves get in on the action, with Chunk doing the ‘Truffle Shuffle’. The graphics are glorious, and elements of the story have been turned into bonus features, to great effect.
