The Goonies Megaways Quest For Riches

By Matthew Kennedy | Updated 16 July 2026

The Goonies Megaways Quest for Riches is the third time Blueprint Gaming has raided the 1985 adventure film for slot material, and the franchise clearly has legs. Released in May 2025, this Megaways sequel adds cascading reels, a progressive jackpot network, and a set of character-driven modifiers to a grid that shifts between 2 and 5 rows per reel. If you’ve played either of the earlier Goonies slots, the bones will feel familiar. The differences are in the specifics: a Cash Collect trail, Treasure Spins, and Sloth doing things to the reels that can meaningfully change where a session ends up.

With up to 15,625 ways to win and a 10,000x max win before the progressive jackpot enters the picture, the upside is real. There’s a catch worth knowing before you put any money in, and we’ll get to that.

Quick Facts

Technical Features

The game runs on a 6-reel Megaways engine with dynamic rows, each reel showing between 2 and 5 symbols per spin. That puts the ceiling at 15,625 ways to win, which is well below the 117,649 on some Megaways titles, but there’s still enough room for cascading wins to chain. An extra horizontal reel above the main grid feeds in modifiers and additional symbols.

RTP in the standard configuration is 96.15%. That said, operator-selected variants can drop to 92%, and there’s no way to tell from the lobby which version you’re on. Check the in-game info screen before you settle in. Volatility is high. Dry spells between meaningful hits are part of the deal with Megaways, so size your stakes accordingly.

Minimum stake is 10p, maximum £1,000. The game is part of Blueprint’s Jackpot King progressive network, meaning a portion of each bet feeds a live jackpot pool. That sits outside the 10,000x fixed cap, so the theoretical ceiling has no hard limit. Triggering the Jackpot King round is vanishingly rare, though.

Design and Theme

Blueprint has worked from the film’s actual look rather than doing a generic pirate reskin. The reels use realistic character portraits of Mikey, Data, Mouth, Sloth, and One-Eyed Willy against backgrounds that pull from the underground caverns and booby-trapped tunnels of the original film. Fans of the movie will clock the references immediately, and it doesn’t feel cheap.

The soundtrack pulls from the film’s adventure tone and gets louder during features. Not subtle, but it fits. On mobile the game scales well enough, though the dynamic row heights can make the grid feel cramped on smaller screens when all six reels expand to five rows.

Symbols and Paytable

Low-value symbols are standard card royals. The premium end is the character set: Mikey, Data, Mouth, Sloth, and One-Eyed Willy all appear as high-paying symbols. Wilds substitute for all regular symbols and can land with multipliers attached, which is where the cascading mechanic starts to matter. Scatter symbols trigger free spins, and there are special cash-value symbols tied to the Treasure Spins feature.

Bonus Features

Three scatters trigger 10 free spins with an increasing multiplier. Every cascade bumps it up, and because the Megaways engine clears winning symbols and drops new ones in, a single spin can chain several cascades. When it connects, the multiplier climbs fast. When it doesn’t, you’ll burn through all 10 spins with next to nothing. That’s the deal with high-volatility free spins.

There’s also a Cash Collect trail that feeds into Treasure Spins. During Treasure Spins, chests appear carrying cash values, and collecting enough pays out well. Getting there requires patience. Sloth acts as a reel modifier in both base game and bonus play, adding symbols, upgrading existing ones, or changing the reel layout. It’s unpredictable, and when Sloth fires at the right point in a cascade chain, the numbers can spike hard.

A bonus buy option exists in some markets but is not available in the UK, so you’ll need to trigger features the normal way.
