Apps Freeze On Your iPhone
Here find few fixes that can help you solve this problem and put an end to your such gaming crashes.
Shut the pokies game app and re-launch it
The quickest and easiest way when a casino app is crashing is to clear it from your iPhone memory by force closing or quitting the app and re-launching it.
To access the multitasking tray or app switcher, quickly press your device’s Home button two times. If you are an iPhone 6s or 6s Plus owner then you can switch to the multitasking view with a firm press on the left edge of your device’s screen.
Locate the problem app
Close the app by swiping up on the app’s preview.
Press your device’s Home screen and re-launch the app.
Reboot your device
You can also reboot your iPhone which will clear the RAM (memory) and kill any apps. If you just restart your device, the RAM is written to the disk and when your device restarts it gets loaded into the RAM again.
To force reboot your iPhone Press and hold the Home and Power buttons.
The slide to turn off the device will appear, ignore it and continue to hold both buttons down.
Keep holding the buttons, the screen will go blank and then the device will reboot when the Apple logo appears on the screen.
Once you perform the reboot, open the app and see whether you have solved your problem.
Update your app
If you launch the app and it crashes immediately, the problem could be down to compatibility issues or the app could have a bug. If this is the case, the app’s developer could have released a new version of the app to fix these issues. If the app does not update automatically then check the App Store for updates.
Open the App Store > tap on the Updates tab > if your problem app appears under Pending Updates, then press the Update button and install the latest version.
Once the update is complete, open the app and see if the update has stopped the app from crashing.

While deleting and reinstalling the app could solve the problem, it does mean that you will also delete any app related data collected since the original install. However, reinstalling the app will also clear the app cache and free up storage space on your device.
Go to your device’s Home screen > tap and hold the app icon for a few seconds until it starts to jiggle > tap the ‘x’ on the app icon > tap Delete.
For iPhone 6s and 6s Plus owners when selecting the app icon, make sure you avoid triggering the 3D Touch Quick Actions. To select the app icon that you want to delete, only lightly place your finger on the app icon.
