The Goonies Megaways (Blueprint) Slot Demo & Review

Creating a successful online slot series is no easy feat, but for Blueprint Gaming, it seems to come as second nature, with the developer having several popular franchises under their belt already, with Fishin Frenzy arguably being the most recognisable. So, when the provider landed themselves the license to create a collection of The Goonies related slot games, you just knew they had the potential to be great. The latest game to come under the microscope here at Demoslot is The Goonies Megaways, a 6-reel slot with up to 15,625 ways to win, an RTP of 95%, and a maximum win of 10,000x the bet.

Whilst the first two versions of this franchise were very feature-rich, the third title took a different turn, adding a bonus collection element. This is again the approach Blueprint has taken with The Goonies Megaways, where players can unlock five sections of a collection meter, each offering a different style of modifier when it lands. If the sixth and final position is unlocked, when the bonus is triggered, players can choose from the Standard Free Spins bonus or the Treasure Blitz Super Spin, where win multipliers of up to 10x can be awarded at the end of each round.

If you’ve been a diehard fan of this slot series to date, you won’t want to miss this latest addition from Blueprint. As always, we’re here to make sure that doesn’t happen with our free The Goonies Megaways demo slot, which you can play for free below.

If you’re new to the slot scene or just didn’t realise there were already earlier Goonies releases out there, these are games you’ll definitely want to try out and play. The great news is that we have them all for you to play free here on Demoslot, so when you’re done reading about and playing The Goonies Megaways, make sure you head over to The Goonies slot demo, our page featuring The Goonies Return free play slot, and last but not least, The Goonies Hey You Guys slot, which is where the latest game in the franchise draws much of its inspiration from.

Well, that’s the next few hours of your time taken care of spinning away on those games, so much so that you could claim to be an honorary member of The Goonies, which, if that did turn out to be the case, you could be featured on the paytable, which is where we’re heading next. Right, starting from the top, we have the Jolly Roger Flag as the highest paying symbol worth 5x the bet for winning combinations of five. Next comes Sloth and Mikey, with returns of 2.5x, with Mouth and Data completing the premium section, paying equal amounts of 2x for a completed line of five. The classic royals make up the lower half of the pays, where you’ll find the Ace and King with values of 1.5x, the Queen and Jack at 1.2x, and finally, the Ten and Nine with rewards of 1x the bet for a five of a kind win. Keep a look out for the Silver Coin, too; this is the Wild symbol and can appear on reels 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 only, substituting for all regular symbols.

The guys at Blueprint always seem to get the betting structure of their slots spot on. I always appreciate seeing a game with a very low entry point, as it makes the game accessible for a good number of spins, even for those players with small budgets. That being said, the price to play The Goonies Megaways starts at just €0.10 a spin, maxing out at €25.


The Goonies Megaways Slot Base Game & Modifiers

The Goonies Megaways Slot Base Game

Blueprint has opted for a 6×5 reel formation on The Goonies Megaways, and with the Megaways mechanic able to change the number of symbols on each reel, this allows the slot to generate up to 15,625 ways to win on any given spin. Players will be awarded a win if 2+ game characters or 3+ royal symbols land on consecutive reels starting from the leftmost reel first.


Cash Collect

When entering the game, the Cash Collect feature will be active, appearing on reels one and six. If this lands simultaneously as any cash symbols, they will be collected and added to your bankroll. Furthermore, every Cash Collect symbol that hits will move you one position along the meter at the top of the reels, where the following can be unlocked. Players should note that all unlocked features will be carried over into the free spins bonus.

  • 2 Collect symbols achieved unlocks Dual Collect in the main game and free spins, making any Collect symbols active on reels 1 and 6. 
  • 5 Collect symbols achieved unlocks Streak Collect in the main game and free spins. Streak Collect will hold any Cash symbols in view before the reels start to respin. Any new Cash symbols that land in view will be held, and another respin will occur. The reels keep respinning until the win is no longer improved, and then all Cash is collected.
  • 8 Collect symbols achieved unlocks Boost Collect in the main game and free spins. Boost Collect will boost all cash values in view before collecting each cash symbol. 
  • 12 Collect symbols achieved unlocks Multi-X Collect in the main game and free spins. Multi-X Collect will collect any Cash symbols in view up to 5 times. 
  • 17 Collect symbols achieved unlock the Fortune Wheel in the main game and free spins. If any Collect symbol lands in view along with the Fortune Wheel symbol, a ship’s wheel will appear and spin in either a fixed pot prize or a mystery win (multiplier of total bet). The outcome is then awarded to the player along with any other collection awards in view. 
  • 20 Collect symbols achieved unlocks treasure Blitz Super Spin. When all unlocks have been achieved, they remain active in the main game and free spins.

Hey You Guys Modifiers

Randomly, on any base game spin, Sloth can trigger and award one of the following modifiers:

  • Hidden Treasure: Cash symbols will be added to the reels.
  • Bonus Boost: Extra bonus symbols will be added on the reels.
  • Dynamite Blast: Dynmaite symbols are thrown onto the reels, uPGrading symbols to the Jolly Roger Flag or a Wild.
  • Cave In: Symbols are removed from the reels and new ones drop down to award a win.

Cashpots

Along with the cash symbols on the reels, players can win one of four fixed jackpots if their specific symbols land simultaneously as a collector. Their values are;

  • Mini: 20x.
  • Minor: 50x.
  • Major: 2,000x.
  • Mega: 2,5000x.

The Goonies Megaways Slot Bonus Features

Landing three or more of the bonus scatters in view will trigger the bonus round on The Goonies Megaways. Once active, players can choose from the following two features. However, the Treasure Blitz Super Spin is only available if all of the trails in the base game have been unlocked.


Free Spins Feature

During the free spins, any unlocked Cash collect Scatter symbols remain active. On any spin where a Cash collect symbol lands in view, the prize is awarded for each Cash symbol that also lands in view.

  • Collecting 3 Cash Collect symbols will award 5 additional spins and a x2 multiplier for any Cash collect.
  • Collecting 6 Cash Collect symbols will award 5 additional spins and a x3 multiplier for any Cash collects.
  • Collecting 9 Cash Collect symbols will award 5 additional spins and a x5 multiplier for any Cash collects.
  • Collecting 12 Cash Collect symbols will award 5 additional spins and a x10 multiplier for any Cash collects.

Treasure Blitz Super Spin

Whilst this feature is active, only Cash, Cashpot, Collect and Fortune Wheel symbols will be active on the reels. Once the bonus begins, each time a Cash, Cashpot, or Fortune Wheel symbol lands, it will add one position to the re-trigger meter at the top of the reels.

On the first spin, if 13 symbols are collected, players will get to pick a key, which will reveal additional spins and a win multiplier of up to 10x. The first re-trigger will then require 14 symbols to land to reach the pick a key feature, while all subsequent re-triggers need 15 symbols to land for the key bonus to be activated.


Pros

  • There's lots to trigger and unlock thanks to the collection meter and base game modifiers.
  • The fixed jackpots mean big wins can be achieved without triggering the bonus rounds.

Cons

  • The bonus rounds can be hard to trigger.
  • Below average RTP at 95%.

The Goonies Megaways Slot Review Final Thoughts

Well, hats off to start to Blueprint for another fantastic looking slot in The Goonies series; the graphics are outstanding, and it looks like a lot of work has gone into the game. But what about the features and gameplay itself?This is quite a tough one because if you enjoyed the original slot and its sequel due to all its bonuses and the lure of reaching the top of the prize ladder, sadly, those kinds of features are just not available in the Megaways version.It would seem Blueprint wants to stick with the collection features seen in The Goonies Hey You Guys and encourage some extended play, tempting players into unlocking the meter and activating the Treasure Blitz Super Spins bonus.There is nothing wrong with that, of course, but it's a very different game now from the originals, so just keep that in mind when you're locked and loaded and ready to spin on the Megaways version.
