It is for this reason that fire pervades the online slot game. The reels are set in flames and a ring of flames surrounds many symbols. As is the practice in Marvel slots, the main character, Ghost Rider in this case, is the wild symbol and the Ghost Rider logo is the scatter symbol. Other symbols include Johnny Blaze in a spiked jacket, a motorbike with fiery wheels, a chain weapon, a spiked glove, a bat, a volcano and a Bible.
Ghost Rider has excellent animation in the Ghost Rider, Ghost Rider logo and Johnny Blaze symbols. Unfortunately the animation is nearly the same in all three symbols. The skull starts flaming and breathing out fire. Whenever the scatter symbol appears on the reels there is the sound of a motorbike revving up. Full Review - Ghost Rider (9.58)

The Ghost Rider is the wild symbol and it offers the highest jackpot of 10000 coins. Unfortunately it does not act as a multiplier. The Ghost Rider logo is the scatter symbol. Two or more scatter symbols anywhere on the reels trigger the scatter payouts. Three or more scatter symbols anywhere on the reels trigger the bonus feature. In this feature the Ghost Rider has to save persons from burning cars.
The Ghost Rider is on his motorbike with the wheels on fire. The sound of the motorbike can be heard as the Ghost Rider searches for people to rescue. He comes across three cars and the player has to select one of them. The player is given a random credit is for the person rescued. The credit can amount to 100 times the triggering bet. The rescue operation is conducted thrice in the bonus game.
The three layer Marvel progressive jackpot is available in Ghost Rider. This jackpot is hit randomly without the need of aligning like symbols on paylines. Players who are hoping to win any of these jackpots are advised to wager with larger amounts because that gives a greater chance of hitting the jackpot. If the jackpot is hit elsewhere then a message flashes across the screen and the jackpot is reset to its starting value.

Game details
Though the software provides several customization features and several conveniences it does not go as far as the features provided in the games of some other software developers. One example is that the auto play cannot be automatically stopped if the winnings exceed a specified amount. Also the sound customization has only two classifications whereas some other software developers provide three classifications.
The rules and the procedures of the game are easy to understand. The bonus game has been clearly explained.
The fiery inferno in the background to the reels and in the bonus game have been graphically displayed. The Ghost Rider animations on the reels are excellent. The audio effect of the motorbike in the main game and in the bonus game has been very realistic.
The theme of Ghost Rider has been well executed through the graphics, sound and animations. The symbols on the reels have been chosen carefully to represent events from Ghost Rider’s life. The transformation of Johnny Blaze to Ghost Rider has been very well done. Ghost Rider’s preoccupation with fire is also apparent. Lot of attention has been paid to detail. For example in the bonus game the cursor changes to Ghost Rider’s gloved hand.
Ghost Rider does not have any extraordinary game features. There is no free spins bonus round, which is a big drawback. Though the bonus game is technically excellent, feature wise it is a simple pick an object type of game. The wild and scatter symbols have not been used beyond their standard capacity.
Ghost Rider allows players to exercise only two of the three betting options. Players can choose the coin size and number of paylines but the number of coins per line has been fixed by the game. However because of the large coin size range the flexibility of betting options remains unaffected. The lowest bet possible is 0.01 and the largest bet possible is 125.00.
Ghost Rider subscribes to the Marvel slots progressive jackpot, which gives the players the chance of hitting one of three jackpots the Marvel Hero jackpot, the Super Hero jackpot and the Hero jackpot. Usually slot games with progressive jackpots offer low fixed jackpots, but not Ghost Rider. The highest fixed jackpot is 10000 coins.
