Few movies define the 80s like the cult classic, The Goonies, and it’s a joy to once again revisit the adventurous world of the young misfits in Blueprint’s second branded installment, simply called The Goonies Return. If you were impressed by the feature heaviness of the first game, this sequel is hardly gonna disappoint in that department either.
You get 6 random modifiers during base game play, as well as 4 that can trigger to turn losing spins into winners. In addition, there is a bonus wheel filled with 6 features, including 3 free spins rounds and 2 bonus games. The cut scenes, animations and action commentary is top notch, and fans of the movie will get to relive plenty of enjoyable moments here.
TheDoubloon Wildsteps in for all regular pay symbols to help you form winning combos, and it comes with the same value as the top-tier skull ‘n crossbones symbol. Five of a kind thus awards 25x your stake, while the mid-level character symbols (Mikey, Chunk, Mouth and Data) pay between 10-15x your stake for the same.

On the final spin, either cash symbols or wilds will appear in the marked positions, and you need 5 cash symbols to trigger the Momma Fratelly Money Spins feature. This is a streak respins style feature with 3 starting spins, and cash symbols become sticky and reset the spin tally when they land. Once again, you get to make a pick (of keys this time), and this might award extra spins, a new bonus feature or ‘Collect’.

The nostalgic vibe from the movie is carried over well in The Goonies Return slot, and perhaps even more so than in the original Blueprint release. You get plenty of fun animations, cut scenes and action commentary, and, of course, there is a total overload of features. There is so much action packed into this game that it literally will make your head spin at first, and it will take a good while to try everything and get somewhat of an overview.
The good news is that many of these features come with solid potential returns, and the overall max win is capped at £250,000, as usual fromBlueprint. If you enjoyed the original game, there is no reason you’ll not thoroughly enjoy this sequel as well, and the medium volatility makes it suitable for most player types. If you want to get lost in an adventurous world full of features, you cannot go wrong playing either of the Goonies installments.
