The Goonies Hey You Guys Slot Review

The Goonies Hey You Guys Slot Review & Game Overview

The Goonies Hey You Guys brings the cult 80s film back to the reels again, and as someone who played the earlier Goonies slots a lot, this one felt familiar straight away. Blueprint sticks to a 5 reel, 3 row, 10 payline setup, so the structure is old school, but the session quickly turns into a money symbol hunt driven by Sloth and his Cash Collect antics.

The action starts on a treasure map laid over a ship deck, then moves into One Eyed Willy's hoard during free spins, which gives the game a nice sense of progression. On desktop or mobile the presentation is clean rather than flashy, but the constant call outs from the kids and Sloth keep the atmosphere lively while you grind away for those better Sloth upgrades.

Symbols and Paytable in The Goonies Hey You Guys

Symbol wise, The Goonies Hey You Guys keeps it simple. J, Q, K and A act as low pays, worth between 5x and 7.5x your bet for five of a kind. The premiums are Data, Mouth, Mikey and the Never Say Die flag, paying from 10x up to 100x for a full line. The Map Coin serves as the wild, standing in for all regular symbols.

Cash symbols land only on reels one to four and do not form line wins, but they carry either direct cash amounts or one of four fixed chest prizes shown beside the grid. These are Mini, Minor, Major and Mega at 10x, 25x, 100x and 2,000x your stake. Skull scatters show on reels two, three and four, and three together bring in the main free spin feature.

RTP, Volatility and Payouts in The Goonies Hey You Guys

The Goonies Hey You Guys runs with two RTP profiles, 95% by default and a lowered 93% setting some sites may choose, so I always check the info screen first. Volatility sits in the middle to upper range, backed by a hit rate around one win in six spins. Stakes go from 10 pence up to £10, with a stated 50,000x cap and a £250,000 cash ceiling.

Cash Collect Features in The Goonies Hey You Guys

For me the entire game hangs off the Cash Collect feature in The Goonies Hey You Guys. During any paid spin, Cash symbols hit on reels one to four with coin values or jackpots attached. When a Sloth Collect symbol lands on reel five at the same time, he stretches to cover that reel and scoops up every Cash amount on display, which can feel very satisfying on a packed screen.

At the start of a session only the basic Sloth collector is active. Once he has gathered enough Cash symbols, extra Sloth types come into play one after another. One awards a collect followed by a respin while he holds in place, another adds a cash increase to whatever you have already collected, and the final Super Collect variation can take every Cash amount up to ten times.

The nice touch here is that once you have seen all four Sloth styles they stay unlocked for the rest of that session, including during free spins. Because Cash symbols can carry Mini, Minor, Major or Mega jackpots, one good connection with an upgraded Sloth can be worth far more than any regular line hit, so I tend to stick around once those better versions are open.

Sloth Free Spins in The Goonies Hey You Guys

Free spins in The Goonies Hey You Guys trigger when three skull scatters land together on reels two, three and four, awarding ten spins to start. The feature uses the same Cash Collect framework as the base game, but now every Sloth that appears is added to a meter. Hitting 3, 6, 9 and 12 Sloths gives you five extra spins each time plus win multipliers of 2x, 3x, 5x and 10x.

In my sessions, the free spins are where the maths can really wake up, especially if you enter the round with several advanced Sloth collectors already active. Cash Collect hits with an active 5x or 10x multiplier on top can throw out serious totals, though the feature still bricks often enough to stay in medium to high territory. There is also a final Super Spin at the end that can surprise you.

Random Modifiers and My Verdict on The Goonies Hey You Guys

Outside the main features, Sloth can randomly lurch onto the screen and fire off reel modifiers such as Hidden Treasure, Bonus B., Cave In and Dynamite Wilds, shaking up dead spins nicely. Overall my verdict on The Goonies Hey You Guys is that it trims back the chaos of earlier Goonies slots but keeps enough action, especially through Cash Collect and jackpots, to satisfy me when I fancy a branded grind.
