Penalty Shoot Out Features and Symbols Explained

Penalty Shoot Out features: the shooting screen

Every series of Penalty Shoot Out takes place on one screen: a goal, a goalkeeper and your striker. There are no reels to spin. The game information lists it as a crash type title from Evoplay, released in 2022, and the features follow from that format. Each element on the screen exists to support one decision.

The aim zones mark the parts of the goal you can shoot at. You tap a zone, the striker kicks, and the keeper dives. Results are determined by the game's random number generator, so no zone is safer than another over time. The team choice changes the kit and flags, not the odds.

• Aim zones across the goal
• Animated keeper dive after each shot
• Team choice for the visual side only
• Results set by the random number generator

An overview of the whole game is on our Penalty Shoot Out guide.

The rules screen in the game confirms how outcomes are generated.

Penalty Shoot Out symbols and on screen markers

Classic slots use symbols on reels. Penalty Shoot Out symbols work differently: the screen shows markers rather than paying icons. The current multiplier, the next step on the ladder, the stake and the balance are always visible. After a goal, the collect button lights up with the amount you would receive.

• Current multiplier after the last goal
• Next multiplier if the following kick scores
• Stake for the series and current balance
• Collect button with the payout amount

We keep multiplier values off this page because the game screen at your casino shows the exact steps that apply there.

All markers appear in the same positions in the demo and in real money play.

Is there a Penalty Shoot Out bonus round?

There is no separate Penalty Shoot Out bonus round in the way a slot has free spins. Players who search for one usually mean the deeper part of a series, when several goals in a row push the multiplier higher. In practice, every series is the feature. The risk and the reward both sit in the choice to keep shooting.

That also affects how casino bonuses work with the game. Many welcome offers give free spins on a named slot, and those spins cannot be used here. Some casinos also exclude crash style games from wagering, or count them at a reduced rate. Always read the eligible games list before playing with bonus funds.

• No free spins feature inside the game
• Higher multipliers come only from consecutive goals
• Free spins offers usually apply to other slots
• Bonus wagering on crash games depends on the terms

How bonuses apply is covered on the free spins and bonus offers page.

Collect timing

The collect button is the most important feature in the game. After each goal, you can bank the current multiplier and end the series, or continue for a higher one. A save at any point ends the series, and anything not collected is lost. That is the whole strategy question in one button.

No collect point beats the house edge in the long run. What a fixed collect point does is make your sessions predictable. Many players choose a target before the series, for example after a set number of goals, and stick to it.

• Decide the collect point before the first kick
• Keep the stake the same for the whole session
• Do not raise the stake after a lost series

Practice collect timing on the Penalty Shoot Out demo and read about risk on the RTP and volatility page.

The payout for a collected series is credited to the balance at once.
