Penalty Shoot Out
Penalty Shoot Out RTP and Volatility
The real figures sit in the game info at your casino, here is how to read them
Overview
Penalty Shoot Out RTP: where the figure comes from
Every licensed UK casino must show the return to player for each game. For Penalty Shoot Out RTP, that figure sits in the game information or help panel inside the game window. We do not quote a single number here. The game facts we rely on confirm the provider, Evoplay, the crash game type and the 2022 release, but not an RTP that applies at every casino.
There is a practical reason for this. Suppliers often offer the same game in several RTP versions, and each casino picks one. Two UK sites can therefore run the same game with different returns. The panel in the game is the only figure that applies to the site you are playing on.
- Open the game at your casino
- Tap the information or help icon
- Find the RTP line in the rules
- Compare it with other casinos if you play at several
The basics of the game itself are on our Penalty Shoot Out guide.
RTP is a long run average across a very large number of rounds.
| Figure | Where to find it | Note |
|---|---|---|
| RTP | Game info panel at the casino | Can differ between casinos |
| Volatility | Game rules or supplier sheet | Crash style risk profile |
| Max win | Game rules, top multiplier | Shown at your stake |
| Stake limits | Stake selector in the game | Casino can set its own limits |
| Provider | Game window and lobby filter | Evoplay |
Penalty Shoot Out volatility in a crash style game
Volatility describes how results are spread, not how much you win on average. In a reel slot it depends on the paytable. In Penalty Shoot Out volatility depends heavily on you, because you decide how long each series lasts. Collecting early creates frequent small returns. Staying in longer creates rare large returns and many rounds that end in a save.
This is the key difference from most games on the market. The same title can feel calm or very swingy depending on your collect point. The RTP does not change with that choice. What changes is how bumpy the path to that average feels.
- Early collection: smaller, more frequent returns
- Deep series: larger, rarer returns
- RTP stays the same whatever you choose
- Session swings grow with longer series
You can feel the difference safely on the Penalty Shoot Out demo.
A fixed stake and a fixed collect point keep the swings predictable.
Penalty Shoot Out max win
The top payout is the stake multiplied by the highest step on the ladder. The Penalty Shoot Out max win is listed in the game rules, and the screen shows the amount at your current stake. We do not publish a figure because the cap and the stake limits can depend on the casino version.
Reaching the top step means scoring every penalty in a full series without collecting. That is the rarest outcome in the game. It is better treated as a ceiling than as a goal.
- Max win equals stake times the top multiplier
- Shown in the rules and on the ladder
- Requires a full series without a save
How the ladder works in detail is explained on the features page.
Casinos may also apply their own maximum payout per round, listed in the terms.

Using RTP and volatility to set a budget
A budget is the one tool that works with any RTP. Decide before the session how much you are willing to spend, and divide it into stakes. With a fixed stake and a fixed collect point, you can estimate how many series a budget covers and stop when it runs out.
- Set a session budget before the first series
- Choose a stake that allows many rounds
- Use a deposit limit in your casino account
- Stop when the budget is used, win or lose
If you plan to use a welcome offer, check how crash games count towards wagering on the bonus offers page. A list of casino checks is on the where to play page.
Penalty Shoot Out is for players aged 18 and over only.
