The Goonies Return

The Goonies Return draws on all the nostalgia of the classic movie, but what really stands out are the busy reels and constant surprises. Every round feels just a little unpredictable, with bonus rounds popping up in unexpected ways and special symbols—like wilds and scatters—making things more dynamic than you might anticipate. There’s a definite sense of high volatility, so sessions can swing quickly between slow stretches and exciting bursts of potential.

The theme is playful without ever becoming distracting. Does the extra effort put into audiovisual touches make much difference for longer play? Sometimes yes, though most of the fun here comes from waiting to see which feature triggers next, especially with all the different modifiers in play (they’re rarely dull). Still, you may find yourself chasing those big bonus features for a while before they land—which can be both thrilling and a bit nerve-wracking.

If you’re considering giving this slot a spin, it’s wise to set clear limits for your session—chasing bonuses too long can get expensive fast.
