• Basics: The game uses a 6×4 reel layout with 4,096 ways to win. Regular wins are formed by landing matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from reel 1. The lower symbols are 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A, paying up to 1x to 1.5x bet for six of a kind. The higher symbols are Goonies character and pirate themed symbols, including Data, Mouth, Mikey, Sloth, and the pirate flag, paying up to 2x to 5x bet for six of a kind.
• Wild: The Wild is an old coin style symbol and can appear on reels 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. It substitutes for regular paying symbols to help create ways wins, but it does not substitute for Scatter, Collect, Cash, or Treasure Wheel symbols. It is a simple support Wild rather than a sticky, expanding, or multiplier Wild.
• Mystery Symbol: The Mystery Symbol is shown as a skeleton and appears only in the base game. When it lands, all visible Mystery symbols reveal the same random paying symbol type. This can create stronger ways wins if several Mystery symbols land across different reels, but they do not reveal as Wilds, Scatters, Collect symbols, Cash symbols, or Treasure Wheel symbols.
• Hey You Guys Features: One of five random features can activate during any spin. Bonus Boost adds Scatter symbols to the reels. Cave In removes symbols and drops in new ones. Dynamite Blast upgrades random symbols into higher paying symbols or Wilds. Hidden Treasure adds full stacks of Cash symbols. Pinchers of Peril adds full stacks of Cash, Treasure Wheel, or paying symbols, but it does not add Wilds. These features give the base game some activity, although most of them are familiar Blueprint style reel assists rather than deep features.
• Collect: Collect symbols can appear on reels 1 and 6 and cover the full reel. When at least one Collect symbol lands with Cash symbols, it collects all visible Cash values. Cash symbols show values from 0.5x to 15x bet or fixed prize symbols: Mini at 20x, Minor at 50x, Major at 200x, and Mega at 1,000x bet. The game begins with the basic Collect symbol unlocked, and more Collect upgrades can be unlocked by landing and collecting Collect symbols.
• Collect Trail: The Collect Trail unlocks new Collect symbols in order. Add Collect unlocks after 2 collected Collect symbols and adds extra Cash symbols before collection. Treasure Wheel unlocks after 5 and spins the Treasure Wheel to move up the Treasure Ladder before awarding the landing value. Rush Collect unlocks after 8 and holds Cash and Collect symbols while Ghost Reel spins can merge extra Cash values or add new ones. Golden One Eyed Willy unlocks after 11 and increases Cash symbol values. Boost Collect unlocks after 14 and adds values up to 5x to one or more Cash symbols. Walking Collect unlocks after 17 and returns after the first collection to collect new Cash symbols until it leaves the grid.
• Chest of Riches: Chest of Riches unlocks after 20 collected Collect symbols. Once active, the red, blue, and green Treasure Chests on the left side of the reels gain 4 keyholes instead of 1. Key symbols can then land and randomly fill empty keyholes. Filling keyholes upgrades the matching coloured chest, and those upgrades improve the Treasure Spins feature when that chest activates.
• Treasure Spins: There are red, blue, and green Bonus Scatter chest symbols. Landing 1 or 2 Scatters can randomly trigger the feature, while 3 Scatters guarantee it with 10 Free Spins. Landing 4, 5, or 6 Scatters also awards 20x, 100x, or 500x bet on the trigger. When Treasure Spins starts, one or more of the coloured chests activate. The red chest activates Collect Expand, making Collect symbols 4 rows high. The blue chest activates Mystery Add, adding 50 Mystery symbols to the reels. The green chest activates Cash Add, adding 50 Cash symbols to the reels. During Treasure Spins, all unlocked Collect features remain active. Collect symbols also build a bonus progression system. Collecting 3 Collect symbols awards +5 spins and applies a x2 multiplier to collected values. Collecting 6 awards another +5 spins and x3. Collecting 9 awards another +5 spins and x5. Collecting 12 awards another +5 spins and x10. The feature ends when no spins remain, then the total collected value is paid.
