1) They will certainly be able to provide the sound files.
2) They might want some of the profit, but doing so will authorize your app. I'm sure adding $1 to the cost of the app would more than cover their share and you might get some help from them since they are now your partner and they have a vested interest in seeing your app succeed.
3) If they do authorize the app, you can be rest assured that the app won't get pulled like the tris app did.
4) Be careful about maintaining creative control of the app if you do go into an agreement with them.
5) Get everything in writing.
Most definitely it is copyrighted, in fact patented by WMS Gaming. I have sent an email to them regarding the matter but have yet to hear a reply. It is such a huge company that i don't know if it even went through. If i ever go about distributing any copies, they will of course be freeware mentioning all respective rights and properties. Although i have spent countless nights altering the coding and images, all the images are NONE of my own doing so i don't intent on infringing on any copyrights, let alone try to make money off of anyone else's ideas.
Your idea of making it into an actual money making app approved by the original company would be freakin awesome but i doubt it would ever get that far. thanks for the suggestions though!
