Superhero Slots: Ghost Rider

We have to admit that we were not very familiar with the back story of the Marvel character Ghost Rider before we saw the movie with actor Nicolas Cage playing the title role last year. Ghost Rider is certainly one of the lesser-known Marvel superheroes, so it’s interesting that casino software provider Cryptologic actually appears to have taken a bit more care than usual with the design of this addition to its popular line of Marvel superhero online slot games. Bearing a massive jackpot by the line’s standards and better graphics than we’ve come to expect from these Marvel titles, it’s almost as if Cryptologic is trying to compensate for Ghost Rider’s unexceptional popularity!

This five-reel, twenty-five payline online slot title offers bet values ranging from one humble penny, all the way up to five dollars. Maximum coin size is twenty-five. The jackpot is a whopping ten thousand coins, which means that you can win up to fifty thousand dollars on the game’s self-contained jackpot! As if this were not enough, the title is also linked into Cryptologic’s three, multi-level Marvel superhero progressive jackpots, which hit every few hours on average.

The reels feature icons of Ghost Rider’s special gloves and his motorcycle, along with his eerie, glowing skull. The Ghost Rider symbol is wild, and the Scatter Ghost Rider Symbol is the scatter symbol. We also liked the special Ghost Rider bonus game, activated with three or more of the icons. Save innocent citizens trapped in burning cars to earn some slick bonus cash, which is multiplied with the triggering bet. We were quite impressed with this game, especially considering our overall lack of familiarity with the lead character!
