Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has expanded its popular football-themed portfolio with the launch of Penalty Shoot-Out: Cup Mania, a new release that builds on the success of the original Penalty Shoot-Out format.
Designed to capture the tension of football’s most decisive moment, Penalty Shoot-Out: Cup Mania places players at the heart of the stadium, where every kick test concentration, timing, and nerve.
With the World Cup 2026 on the horizon, Penalty Shoot-Out: Cup Mania embraces the tournament’s unifying spirit, inviting players to share in the excitement in the months leading up to kick-off.
Every round represents a crucial shot, as players attempt to outsmart the goalkeeper and advance towards the top prize, with potential wins of up to 3,000x the bet available during the bonus game.
The game proceeds in rounds, where each successful shot increases the player’s multiplier, while a miss resets progress in the main game.
This cumulative system builds a steady sense of pressure and reward, with the main game featuring an expanded set of 15 multipliers, encouraging players to decide whether to continue or cash out at the right moment. In the Bonus round, only winning shots count, allowing players to focus entirely on maximising their returns.
The Bonus Buy option provides instant access to a special round of 15 penalty shots, with all attempts highly increased. Available for 30 times the bet, this mode ensures that all 15 kicks are played, with every successful shot adding to the final payout.
Adding a personal touch, the Country and Club Gallery allow players to choose from a selection of national flags, giving them the chance to represent their favourite team or play on behalf of their home country as they step up to the spot.
Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said:
“Penalty Shoot-Out: Cup Mania builds on a familiar format that players already enjoy, while introducing more intensity, clearer progression, and a stronger competitive edge.
“With the World Cup 2026 just months away, that focus on decision-making feels especially pertinent, inspiring us to create a game that keeps the tournament’s spirit alive and offers players worldwide the chance to support their teams.”
