How the 'Bank Points' button works

We have had many players who ask us about the 'Bank Points' button, and what it does.  Some players think that there may be a 'Bank' that they can access, and other players think that the button increments your previous high score with the current score.  Neither of these are true.

The bank button just means you are quitting the current stage with your current score.  The points don't go into a

'bank', nor do they get added to something else.  It's a way to concede the attempted stage and accept the current score on the leaderboards.

It should be noted that this button functions differently than the 'Home' button. The Home button does not save the current points score. Home will let you quit the stage while forfeiting the current score.

We hope this clears up this matter for you.

Poker Girls Challenge: Diep T. vs Bianca H.

Who deserves to be the new Zynga Poker girl? You decide in the first matchup of the Fab 4! Vote daily through April 2 to see who wins.

We now have the final four models are competing for the title to be the ultimate Poker Girl to represent Zynga Poker.

Today's matchup includes Diep T. vs Bianca H. Each day vote for your favorite and share who you vote for with your friends!

 TALE OF THE TAPE

Diep T.

Height: 5'3"

How did you get started playing poker? I have always been fascinated with the art of poker at a young age. I was up late one night several years ago and came across a poker tournament on television. Needless to say, I got hooked!

You have pocket 7s. Fold, raise, or call? Raise

If you had a bad beat, how would you handle it? I always stay calm and collected, playing on tilt gets you nowhere. I'll just stay patient and get them back eventually. There's always the next game if you have a leveled head.

What is your favorite starting hand and why? Pocket rockets :) I like knowing I'm in control.

Why I should be the next poker girl: I can bluff my way out of every situation.

If you could create your own poker screen name, what would it be? There are several: QueenofHearts, ZygnaGirlDiep, & Hearts4Diep

Poker Girl Tip: If you’re playing “on tilt”, you’re playing angry. Don’t do it!

Bianca H.

Height: 5'3"

How did you get started playing poker? It sounds silly, but I started playing on my phone and became addicted.

You have pocket 7s. Fold, raise, or call? Call.

If you had a bad beat, how would you handle it? You just have to keep your head up and realize everything happens for a reason. Don't give up your willingness to take chances.

What is your favorite starting hand and why? Any cards that get me on my way to a Royal Flush.

Why I should be the next poker girl: I absolutely LOVE playing poker!

If you could create your own poker screen name, what would it be? Biancatakesitall

Poker Girl Tip: Only bet what you can afford to lose!

Clash of the Titans!

Ten- HUT!

Soldiers, we've got a problem on our hands - The Titans are back!



This time they’ve hit Dr. G Owari’s lab and it looks bad. Titans normally only attack areas of significance and Owari isn’t even aware of the existence of Titans, so why would they go after her? Perhaps she knows more than she wants us to believe.

Could it be that there are two sects of Titans warring against each other and was she merely caught in the crossfire?
If that's the case, this war could destroy the planet! Use your best units and power ups to find out the truth and save your Island!

Follow the instructions and complete the quest to win 5 Owl fighters!

To get started on this new mini-series, load your Empire and click on the Clash of the Titans pop up which will take you to the entry point of the quest.
