Installing new Java - Version  7 Update 71

A newer version of Java is now available. Here is a tutorial that might help you in updating Java.

 1 - Launching a Java Game on Pogo

If your Java is outdated and you'll see this pop up message.
You can actually try with Ali Baba Slots™

Click download

Select the recommended version. For me it was 32-bits so I have selected the first link.

Once the file is downloaded, open it and Install Java.

Close your browser. At the end you 'll be redirected to the Java website in order to test your Java.

 3 - Verifying the system information

WINDOWS by Wendy with special guest JAVA:

Java automatically sets security to "High" so if you're unable to run applets,  go to Start > Java > Java Control Panel > Security > Exception Site List    Click on the "Edit Site List" button & add these following 3 Pogo addresses  (URLs).

This means you'll be going to "whitelist" Pogo & allow it to have permission so as not to be blocked by Java security.

http://www.pogo.com
http://www.game3.pogo.com
http://www.pogospike-prod.pogo.com

+++ NB:  If you don't see the Java icon in your Windows Start Control Panel, click on "Switch to Classic View".+++

Pogo is a trusted site. If you get a Java security warning pop-up as you're adding these exceptions, referring to HTTP protocol, you still may hit "Continue" in order to proceed & not feel at risk from Pogo.

Keep adding & continuing. When you've finished entering URLs, click the "OK" button. Next,  you should land on the 

Java security page. Have a look to ensure that the 3 URLs that you've entered are displayed correctly there.  Success!  Well done!  Still looking at this security page, does it show a check mark beside "Enable Java content in the browser

is enabled."?   Good !

In addition, you may have to configure your malware/proxy/firewall/AntiVirus applications in order to allow the Java applets to execute. If you're not able to run applets, this could be a reason.
