Depending on your operating system version, two things can happen if you are installing APKs downloaded from the Internet for the first time.

The installation window will appear. Tap Install in the lower right corner of the screen.

When the installation is 100% complete, the Open button will appear allowing you to open the game. You can also tap on the new icon that will have been created in your app menu.
