The Goonies Return (Blueprint Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

The Goonies Return - Slot Overview

I’ve spent plenty of time with The Goonies Return, and it lands as a feature-heavy sequel that stays true to the film. The action plays on a 5-reel, 3-row, 20-payline grid, set against the treasure map backdrop. Stakes run from 10p to £100 per spin. Blueprint adds extra voiceovers and character animations, so the theme feels richer than the first outing. Expect a character-heavy paytable, random One-Eyed Willy modifiers, and a bonus wheel that can chain features when the round ends with a pick.

Symbols and Paytable in The Goonies Return

In The Goonies Return, the paytable leans on the gang. Mikey, Chunk, Mouth, and Data sit in the mid tier, paying about 10–15x the bet for five of a kind. The skull and crossbones tops the set at 25x for five. J to A card ranks cover the lows. The doubloon wild substitutes and can form its own wins, matching the skull’s value. Bonus symbols act as scatters, and three in view set up the bonus wheel for one of six features.

RTP, Volatility and Max Potential in The Goonies Return

The Goonies Return runs a posted RTP of 96% with volatility around medium to high. That mix suits long base sessions punctuated by modifiers and wheel bonuses. The 20-line layout keeps the maths familiar, and the array of add-ons helps smooth dead patches. From my sessions, streaky patches are common, yet the hit rate improves once the keys and coins start landing. It’s a branded slot that still keeps the numbers respectable for regular play.

On the top end, max win quotes reach up to 50,000x, while Blueprint’s usual cap sits at £250,000. Big segments of that potential sit in One-Eyed Willy Riches and in stacked wild set-ups during free spins. I’ve seen the hold and win style round supply strong ladders when characters combine, though it can also fizzle if the board stalls. The game gives you feature gambles and exchanges, so you can take a shot at higher-tier rounds when the meter allows.

Base Game Modifiers in The Goonies Return

One-Eyed Willy modifiers can trigger on any base spin. I pick one of three keys and land one of these extras. Truffle Shuffle Wilds drop wilds, sometimes as multipliers. Hidden Riches places a Mikey Wild in the centre and can flip Goony symbols wild. W-Invention Reels sync up to five reels, with colossal symbols or symbol upgrades possible. Lucky Coins add mystery symbols with a chance of coin respins. Bonus Boost adds bonus symbols. Win Spin guarantees a big win.

There are also random events that can turn a dud into a hit. The scythe resets the reels into a win. Shooting spikes remove one or more columns to create a win. Dynamite can be lobbed to upgrade the return. A cave collapse clears the grid in view and drops in a cascade of new symbols. These extras arrive without warning and help bridge the gap to the main wheel features when the base stalls.

Bonus Features in The Goonies Return

Three bonus symbols trigger the One-Eyed Willy Bonus Wheel in The Goonies Return. Booby Trap is a key turn to the left or right, revealing Cash, Collect, or a Bonus Feature that sends you to another round. Waterslide to Wealth is a prize trail that can end on a collect or carry you to the Big Money sequence if you make the end. Both rounds keep the pace brisk and can hand you a path into higher value features.

Skeleton Organ Free Spins award five spins with Skeleton Organ symbols super stacked and sticky. When special symbols land, I pick a key to reveal a symbol that overlays all Organ positions. At the end, a doubloon pick can add spins, send me to another feature, or collect. Fratelli Free Spins give ten spins, with Super Sloth Wilds marking positions. On the last spin, cash or wilds fill the marked spots. Land five or more cash symbols to trigger Momma Fratelli Money Spins.

Final Voyage Free Spins use an Inferno Wild that starts on reel one and walks right, turning the characters wild along the way. A doubloon pick can then add spins or launch One-Eyed Willy Riches. That hold and win style round starts with three spins and resets when cash or character symbols land. Mikey adds an overall multiplier, Data increases the respins, Chunk adds his value, Mouth collects, One-Eyed Willy adds a column, and Sloth restarts powers. Feature gambles and the Exchange can upgrade wins.

How to Play The Goonies Return

Playing The Goonies Return is straightforward. There are 20 fixed lines, wins pay left to right, and some symbols pay from two. I set my stake, open the menu to view the paytable and rules, and toggle sound in the same panel. Manual spins work fine, or I use autospins from 10 spins to infinity. Three bonus symbols anywhere in view start the wheel. The risk round can appear before a bonus, offering a shot at a stronger feature.

There’s no download needed, as the slot runs in a browser on desktop or mobile. Controls flank the reels. On the left sit bet adjust, sound, paytable, and help. On the right is spin and auto. I like starting in demo to see how the modifiers chain and to gauge how the wheel behaves over a decent run. Once you’ve got the flow, switch to cash play and size the stake to your bankroll.

The Goonies Return - Slot Verdict

I rate The Goonies Return as a well built sequel that dials up the Goonie feel and piles on features. You walk away feeling like you’ve eaten the whole buffet, and that’s part of the charm. The chain potential, from end-of-round picks to wheel hops, can snowball nicely. Some will want a more modern pay system, yet the 20-line set works with the modifiers. Mobile play holds up, and the cap and RTP make it a fair branded option.
