When an event is active, a small icon can be found near the bottom of the screen. Tap on this to open a Map to see your progress for the current event. These events will ask you to complete games by meeting a specific requirement or goal. Completing each task moves you further on the map.
At this time, there is no way to remove this icon, but you can choose to play these deals or another game mode by tapping the PLAY icon on the bottom menu. Select Events to play these types of games or choose a different game mode.
