After downloading or updating the game, it may ask you for certain permissions to access your device.

App permissions for games are needed to enable key features and ensure the app functions correctly. For example:

  • Storage access allows saving game progress or downloading extra content.

  • Internet access is needed for updates.

  • Contacts or account info might help with social features like social connect.

Permissions help games deliver a complete user experience.

But what does it mean for you?

When you open the game on your Android device, you might see alerts that looks something like these:

As in the following example, you may be asked to allow app permission to manage phone calls.

Allowing the app permission to manage phone calls will simply let it halt gameplay and bring your phone app up so you can answer, or ignore the call.

Here is a breakdown of what granting this permission to the game results in:

  • Whenever you receive a phone call while you are playing, the game will allow the call to halt gameplay and let you answer the call. The game itself will still run in the background.

  • The game will NOT make phone calls, despite what the warning says. Our games do not need to make phone calls or listen to voicemails of any sort in order for you to enjoy our slots.

  • The game will not record any your calls. This is not a feature that is built into any of our games.

  • The game will not access the contacts stored on your phone in any way.

With that said, in order to proceed, we do require that you hit that Allow button so you can play the game.

Once you have done so, you should see something like this:
