Penalty Shoot-Out: Cup Mania by Evoplay

Penalty Shoot-Out: Cup Mania by Evoplay follows the same core structure as the earlier series entries — aim, shoot, score, and decide whether to collect or push on — but extends the format to 15 multiplier levels and adds a Bonus Round and Bonus Buy that fundamentally change the risk profile of the game. Pick your country, set your bet, and start climbing the ladder.

Step 1: Choose Your Country

Select a national team from the Country and Club Gallery before the round begins. The gallery displays country flags and lets you represent any nation of your choosing. This is a cosmetic choice with no effect on the odds or outcome.

Step 2: Place Your Bet

Set your stake using the bet controls. The minimum bet is $0.10 and the maximum is $100 per round.

Step 3: Aim and Shoot

Once your bet is placed, choose anywhere on the goal and kick, or press the Random button to let the game select a position for you. The goalkeeper reacts and the result is determined by the RNG.

One of two things will happen:

• Goal scored — your position advances one step up the 15-tier multiplier ladder, your current win is locked in as an option to collect, and you can shoot again or take the money.
• Shot saved or missed — in the main game, the round ends immediately, your bet is lost, and the ladder resets to zero. In the Bonus Round, a miss does not end the session — the round continues and only successful goals contribute to the final payout.

Step 4: Collect or Shoot Again

After each successful goal in the main game you have a choice:

• Collect — take your current multiplier as an instant credit to your balance and end the round.
• Shoot Again — step up for the next kick for a higher multiplier on the ladder, knowing a save ends everything.

The multiplier ladder runs across 15 levels, starting at 1.2x and 1.5x for the first two successful goals, building through 2x, 8x, 12x, 20x, and 50x at intermediate stages, and reaching a maximum of 1,000x for clearing all 15 levels in the main game.

The Bonus Round

The Bonus Round changes the rules in one key way — a missed or saved shot does not end the session. Only goals count toward the payout, and the round always plays to completion across all 15 attempts. This removes the risk of losing accumulated progress to a single bad shot and lets you focus entirely on maximising the final return. The Bonus Round features enhanced multipliers compared to the main game, with a maximum of 3,000x your bet for a perfect run.

The Bonus Buy

Skip directly to the Bonus Round by purchasing it for 30x your bet. The Bonus Buy guarantees all 15 penalty kicks at the enhanced Bonus Round multipliers, with every successful goal adding to your final payout and no save able to cut the session short. The maximum win available through the Bonus Buy is 3,000x your bet.

‍

The theoretical Return to Player (RTP) is 95.65% in the main game and 96.16% in the Bonus Buy. The maximum multiplier is 1,000x in the main game and 3,000x via the Bonus Round.

Penalty Shoot-Out: Cup Mania is the most feature-complete entry in Evoplay's shootout series and the one with the highest win ceiling.

• 15-Tier Multiplier Ladder — An expanded progression system that runs three times the length of the five-shot format in earlier titles. Each successful goal advances you one step, with multipliers starting modestly and escalating sharply at the upper levels. The added steps give significantly more decision points and a much steeper reward for sustained runs.
• Bonus Round — A separate game mode where misses do not end the session. All 15 kicks are always played and only goals contribute to the payout, with enhanced multipliers reaching a maximum of 3,000x. A fundamentally different risk profile from the main game and the primary route to the game's highest payouts.
• Bonus Buy — Purchase direct access to the Bonus Round for 30x your bet. All 15 kicks are guaranteed at enhanced multipliers, making it the fastest and most reliable way to access the 3,000x maximum. Available at any time without needing to progress through the main game first.
• Five Target Zones — Click to aim your shot at a specific section of the goal before each kick, or use the Random button to fire without choosing a direction. The zone selection is player-directed but the outcome is RNG-determined.
• Country and Club Gallery — Choose any national flag from the gallery to represent your team of choice before each round. A cosmetic feature that adds a personal and tournament-aligned touch to every session.
• Provably Fair — Every round result is generated using Provably Fair technology, allowing any outcome to be independently verified.‍
• Mobile Optimised — Built in HTML5, the game runs smoothly across desktop and mobile devices with responsive touch controls suited to all screen sizes.

It's great to see Evoplay introduce some new features to this game series that not only update the visuals, but also offer new gameplay experiences. Now we have a new 15 tier win progression and a Bonus Round where the max win increases from 1,000x in the base game to 3,000x in the bonus. If you’re somewhat impatient like us, you can also buy your way into the bonus game for a 30x bet premium, bypassing the base game and getting right into the bonus round.

Penalty Shoot Out follows the same mechanics as familiar progressive win style game or what some others might call ‘Burst Games.’ These games are interesting because they are similar to mines, crash and Chicken Road, each successful bet causes the multiplier to compound, eventually reaching some insanely high multipliers which would be incredible to land and hit that cash out button.
