The Goonies Slot: Overview
Blueprint Gaming, who recently acquired the MegaWays license, has been extremely busy churning out slot after slot almost to the point where it’s getting hard to keep up. While the MegaWays spectacle has been quite successful in their case, we can’t help to feel it’s becoming a bit redundant. Or it could possibly be the fact that we’re starting to anticipate what to expect and in all honesty, The Goonies is no exception to the rule. If you’ve ever played TED, you sort of know already what you’re in for. Now, if you love the action-packed type Blueprint Gaming slots, then you’re in for a real treat as it has all the elements that are typical for Blueprint.
The 30-35+ player base will likely be familiar with The Goonies. It’s a 1980’s blockbuster movie with cult status that was directed by the legendary Steven Spielberg himself. If you haven’t seen this Indiana Jones-inspired adventure, we strongly recommend you do so. Naturally, some of the jokes are a bit outdated, but overall the movie is still relevant to this day as are most of Spielberg’s productions. In the online slot, you get to follow lead characters Mikey, Data, Mouth and Chunk in their escapades and a chance to trigger 12 different bonus features.
The Goonies is a 5-reel, 3-row slot with 20 pay lines which you can play from as little as 10 cents per spin across all devices. It’s hard to say whether it’s a medium or high variance slot, but we’d say it’s somewhere around 7-8 out of 10 on the volatility ladder. Quite a lot of the payouts are dedicated to the various main game features which probably lowers the free spins frequency.
We feel that Blueprint has done this classic movie justice when it comes to the overall production. Starting up the slot, it’s almost as if you’re introduced to one of those Disney adventure worlds. The warm colours, intriguing symbols and a wealth of features make for some entertaining slot action.
The paytable is displayed in coin value, which can be a bit confusing (on purpose) if you’re new to slots. It’s a trick used to make the payouts seem more impressive than they really are. To make it simple, with a current bet size of 1 EUR, just remove the last zero and divide the coin values in the paytable by 2.
The Goonies comes with 4 low-value symbols, J, Q, K and A royals, as well as 5 premiums represented by golden balance scales, pirate skeletons, pirate ships, treasure chests and Jolly Roger flags. The latter, along with the wild symbol which is of identical value, is the most lucrative and awards 25 times the stake for 5 across a full pay line. The symbols appear fully stacked on the reels which means there is a max win potential of 500x in the main game.
