Theme: search for One-Eyed Willy’s gold coins

With a movie theme, ‘Never Say Die’ in The Goonies Hey You Guys slot. An official, branded game, it’s the 3^rd The Goonies slot created by Blueprint Gaming. The game follows on from The Goonies and The Goonies Return slots.

The legendary The Goonies film (1985) is based on a group of kids (called The Goonies) who discover an ancient map and set out on an adventure to find a pirate’s long-lost treasure. Produced by Steven Spielberg, it’s become a cult classic.

Blueprint Gaming has done the film justice using characters and imagery from the movie. In the backdrop, you’ll see One-Eyed Willy and the infamous treasure map. The soundtrack is from the movie too which really brings the classic back to life. The aim of this slot is to go in search for One-Eyed Willy’s gold.

On the reels, you will see A, K, Q and J royals. Then you have 3 character symbols including Data, Mouth and Mikey as well as the Never Say Die Pirate Flag. The Never Say Die Pirate Flag symbol is the highest paying with 1, 5 or 100 x bet awarded when landing 3, 4 or 5 across any payline. Unfortunately, Chunk doesn’t appear but does in The Goonies Return slot.

Then you have the Doubloon Wild symbol that substitutes for all paying symbols above. Other symbols of note include the One-Eyed Willy Bonus Scatter (which is key to triggering free spins) and One-Eyed Will Gold Coin Cash symbols. Lastly, there are 4 versions of the Sloth Collect Scatter which appears on reel 5 only.

On any base game spin, the One-Eyed Will Gold Coin symbol can appear on reels 1, 2, 3 and/or 4. The Cash Collect feature is triggered when a Sloth Collect Scatter lands on reel 5 as well as One-Eyed Will Gold Coins on the other reels.

The Sloth Collect Scatter expands to take over reel 5 and collects the cash values of all One-Eyed Will Gold Coin Cash symbols.

The Goonies Hey You Guys Review Summary: Sloth key to finding One-Eyed Willy’s gold

Following on from The Goonies and The Goonies Return, The Goonies Hey You Guys slot follows the same pattern as its predecessors. Offering superb imagery, the soundtrack from the film and all of the movie’s characters (with the exception of Chunk), there’s an abundance of bonus features.

You have to consider that The Goonies film was released in 1985. At the time of writing, that’s 38 years ago so that’s quite the testament to how much we love the iconic movie. The gang’s spirit lives on certainly and I’m all for it.

In terms of the gameplay, the 4 random One-Eyed Willy Riches features can give base game spins and free spins a boost. However, the focus is on the Cash Collect feature which was used by Blueprint Gaming in the Maradona slot.

The key is to land the various Sloth Scatters on reel 5 as well as One-Eyed Will Gold Coins. They will lead to cash prizes, a respin with more cash prizes, cash boosts and Sloth collecting coins up to 10 times. Importantly, it unlocks these extras for future spins and free spins.

In the Super Sloth Free Spins feature, Sloth Collect Scatters collect the One-Eyed Willy Gold Coins. They are also collected in a meter which awards additional free spins and applies a multiplier up to 10x to One-Eyed Willy Gold Coins. In the Maradona slot, the last free spin sees all 4 Cash Collect modifiers in play. Here, in The Goonies Hey You Guys, you need to collect the various Sloth scatters for them to apply.

The real max win is still not known. Per spin/free spin, a screen full of the Never Say Die Pirate Flag symbol will result in a 1,000 x bet payout. With the fixed jackpots, the Mega Jackpot is worth 2,000 x bet but this can be won in conjunction with One-Eyed Willy Gold Coins. However, with the potential 10x multiplier in the free spins, the total from the Gold Coins could be quite high.

All in all, The Goonies Hey You Guys slot sees you relive the classic film in all its glory. With plenty of bonus features, the potential for decent wins isn’t as high as other slot games but the entertainment factor has to be considered. In summary, another job well done by Blueprint Gaming.

If you like films based on movies, Blueprint Gaming’s Ted slot is the official game for the movie starring the foul-mouthed bear. It comes with lots of bonus features and 50,000 x bet max wins. Another good option is Microgaming’s Jurassic World slot which offers random boosts, free spins with 3 locations and 14,166 x bet payouts.
