After quite a while the software provider Playtech has added on to its branded Marvel Movies series with the title Ghost Rider. Ghost Rider is live at leading Playtech online casinos like Casino Tropez. The introductory clip shows the super hero with his skull on fire and astride his flaming motorbike fighting ghostly characters. The genesis of the Ghost Rider legend is as follows. Stunt motorcyclist Johnny Blaze sells his soul to an arch demon Mephisto in order to save his mentor from cancer. His soul gets bonded with an entity Zarathos and his flesh is consumed by hellfire, causing his head to become a flaming skull. The symbols on the reels include Johnny Blaze, which offers a jackpot line payout of 10,000 coins, and Mephisto. The other symbols are the contract with Mephisto and a Bible, because Blaze later converts to Christianity. The animations are fiery and awesome.
There are three special symbols in Playtech Ghost Rider. The flaming skull is the wild symbol and it appears only on reels 2, 3 and 4. The Ghost Rider logo awards scatter payouts when two or more appear on the reels. Three or more of these symbols activate the free spins bonus. Ten free spins are awarded at tripled payouts. During the free spins the flaming skull becomes an expanding wild and covers the entire reel as a full length image of Ghost Rider. The free spins can be retriggered indefinitely.
The flaming motorbike is the bonus symbol. When it appears on the central spot of a reel then that reel gets activated. When all five reels are activated then the Ghost Hunt bonus is triggered. Reels are activated separately for every total bet. When returning to a previously used total bet the activated reels for that bet are restored. In the bonus game players have to help Ghost Riders hunt down 10 ghosts for cash. Some ghosts can manage to escape but a minimum of seven ghosts will be caught. The bonuses earned for all the ghosts caught are credited to the player’s account. The Ghost Hunt bonus cannot be triggered during the free spins.
Ghost Rider is linked to the four-tier Marvel progressive jackpot network. Any spin with any bet amount can trigger the jackpot game, even if there is no win in that spin. However, spins of larger bets have higher chances of triggering the jackpot game. There are 20 cells in the jackpot game arranged in a 4 x 5 grid. Players click the cells to reveal jackpot symbols for the different tiers. Once three symbols of the same tier are revealed the player wins the progressive jackpot for that tier.
