Penalty Shoot Out Slot by Evoplay: Review, RTP and Free Spins

Penalty Shoot Out slot review: what kind of game it is

Penalty Shoot Out was released by Evoplay in 2022, and the game information lists it as a crash type title rather than a classic reel slot. That single fact explains almost everything about how it plays. There are no reels, paylines or scatter symbols to wait for. Instead, each round is a short series of penalty kicks, and the multiplier on your stake grows with every successful goal.

We include it on this site because UK players search for it as the Penalty Shoot Out slot, and casinos usually file it in the slots or instant games lobby. The format is simple to learn and quick to play. A round can be over in seconds, which is exactly why it needs a clear plan before the first kick.

• Studio: Evoplay
• Release year: 2022
• Game type: crash style, football theme
• Core decision: collect now or shoot again

The full breakdown of the shooting screen and its options sits on our page about Penalty Shoot Out features and symbols.

A round ends the moment the goalkeeper saves a shot, unless you have already collected.

How a round of Penalty Shoot Out works

Every round starts with one decision: the stake. After that, you pick a team and step up to the spot. You choose where to aim, the keeper dives, and the result appears straight away. A goal moves you up the multiplier ladder. A save ends the round and the stake for that round is lost.

The key moment comes after each goal. At that point you can collect the current multiplier or take another penalty for a higher one. This is what gives the game its crash label. The longer you stay in, the more you can win, and the more you risk losing in a single kick.

• Pick a stake within the limits shown in the game
• Choose a team for the visual side of the round
• Aim each shot at a part of the goal
• Collect after any goal or continue the series

The exact multiplier steps are shown on the game screen at the casino. We do not publish them here, because operators can run different settings.

The number of kicks in a full series is displayed in the game before the first shot.

Penalty Shoot Out demo and free play

Most UK casinos that carry Evoplay games let registered and age verified players open a demo version. The demo uses virtual credits, while the rules, the shooting screen and the collect button stay the same. It is the best way to test how often you want to collect before you put real money at stake.

We explain how to find the demo and what to test in it on the Penalty Shoot Out demo page.

UK rules require age verification before any game, including free play.

Similar games to try after Penalty Shoot Out

Four titles from our list stand out if you like quick rounds and clear mechanics. Reactoonz from Play'n GO arrived in 2017 with alien cartoon creatures on a neon grid, where clusters of matching symbols pay and the grid cascades after every win. The Dog House from Pragmatic Play, released in 2019, puts cartoon dogs in a kennel yard and uses sticky wilds during its respins. Sweet Bonanza, also from Pragmatic Play in 2019, mixes candies and fruit with cluster pays and tumbling reels.

For something with a longer story, Immortal Romance from Microgaming dates back to 2011. It is set in a gothic mansion and is known for its chamber of spins, where different free spin features unlock over time.

• Reactoonz: cluster pays on a cascading grid, 2017
• The Dog House: sticky wild respins, 2019
• Sweet Bonanza: tumbling reels with cluster wins, 2019
• Immortal Romance: chamber of spins, 2011

None of these is a crash game, so the pace and the decisions are different from a penalty series.

About Evoplay, the studio behind the game

Evoplay builds slots, instant games and arcade style titles, and Penalty Shoot Out is one of its best known instant games. The studio often uses sports and simple choices as the core of a game, which makes its titles easy to pick up on a phone.

Because the game comes from a supplier, the same title can appear at many casinos. The rules stay the same, yet operators can choose settings such as stake limits. That is why we always point players to the game information panel inside the casino.

The provider name is shown in the game window and in the casino lobby filter.

Penalty Shoot Out RTP, volatility and max win

The game information we rely on lists the provider, the game type and the release year. It does not give an RTP, a volatility rating or a maximum win that we can confirm for every UK casino. For that reason, we do not quote these figures.

• Open the game, then the information or help panel
• Check the stated RTP for that casino
• Check the maximum multiplier and stake limits

We explain how crash style risk works and what to look for on the Penalty Shoot Out RTP and volatility page.

The RTP shown in the game window is the figure that applies at that casino.

Deposits at UK casinos

A first deposit of around £10 is common at UK casinos, though each site sets its own minimum. Debit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay and Pay by Bank are the usual choices. Credit cards cannot be used for gambling in the UK, so they will not appear in the cashier of a licensed site.

• Use a method in your own name
• Withdrawals usually return to the deposit method
• Paysafecard covers deposits only
• Complete identity checks before the first withdrawal

Welcome offers linked to the first deposit are explained on our Penalty Shoot Out free spins and bonus offers page.

Withdrawal times depend on the casino and the payment method.

Playing Penalty Shoot Out on mobile

Each penalty takes a tap, so the game suits a phone screen well. It runs in the mobile browser at casinos that carry Evoplay titles, on both Android and iOS. The collect button stays visible after each goal, which matters in a game where timing is everything.

More tips for phones and tablets are on the page about playing Penalty Shoot Out on mobile.

A stable connection helps, because a dropped signal in the middle of a series is frustrating.

Where to play Penalty Shoot Out in the UK

The first condition is a UK Gambling Commission licence. A licensed casino must verify your age and identity, offer deposit limits and connect to GamStop. These protections are the reason to stick with licensed sites, even if an unlicensed site promises a bigger bonus.

• Gambling Commission licence details in the site footer
• Penalty Shoot Out listed in the lobby search
• Clear bonus terms with a stated wagering requirement
• Deposit limits and time out tools in the account

Our checklist for choosing a casino is on the where to play Penalty Shoot Out page.

The licence can be checked against the public register of the Gambling Commission.

Responsible play

A crash game moves fast, and a round can end in one kick. Setting a budget before the session is the simplest protection. UK licensed casinos offer deposit limits, reality checks and self exclusion, and GamStop covers all of them at once.

• Play only with money you can afford to lose
• Decide your collect point before each round
• Take breaks and use reality checks
• Seek help from GamCare or BeGambleAware if play stops being fun

Penalty Shoot Out is for players aged 18 and over only.
