ACE333 explained, from the ID to the reels

ACE333 is a casino app with a gold crown and spade for a logo, three game tabs and no way to sign up inside it. It is not in Google Play or the App Store. You get in with an ID and password that somebody else created for you, and everything you play is paid for with credit that same person loads. Below: what the lobby held, how the ID and credit work, what installing it really involves, and fifteen games from the old ACE333 list, each described from its own screenshots.

The old version of this page promised quick wins on ACE333 and said a RM0.50 bet could turn into RM50. Nothing on any screenshot backs that up, and no slot works that way for long, so we've dropped it.

What the ACE333 lobby looks like

The old page described the lobby in 2018 as three tabs: Slot, Arcade and Table. Slot held 22 games, Arcade five and Table five more, the last being small casino card and dice games. There is no lobby screenshot, and apps like this reshuffle tiles with every update, so treat those numbers as a 2018 snapshot.

The game screens tell you more. Most of the slots below share one frame: three meters across the top labelled Major, Random and Minor, a Back button and a menu icon in the top right corner, and a bottom bar with Current Balance, Lines, Bet, Auto Start and Spin. A few carry a "Dollar Ball" switch in the top left. Others clearly come from different studios: 777 Blazing, 88 Fortunes and the two superhero slots each use their own frame. None of the panels shows a currency sign. The amounts are credits, and on these screenshots the balance sat between about 24 and 51, which is why we've blurred it.

How an ACE333 ID and credit work

There is no registration form in the app. An agent, or a website with back-office access to ACE333, creates a game ID and password for you. To top up, you transfer ringgit by bank transfer, DuitNow or an e-wallet to the account they name, and they load the same amount as credit onto your ID. To cash out, you ask them again: they take the credit off your ID and send money to your bank.

That credit belongs to ACE333 alone. A balance on 918Kiss or any of the other apps stays where it is. Screenshot every transfer and test a small withdrawal early, because payouts depend entirely on whoever holds the money. Nobody running an ID needs your online banking password or your TAC. The partner box at the end of this page is a separate online casino with its own accounts, and it does not issue ACE333 IDs.

18+ only. Online gambling is illegal in Malaysia, so if an agent keeps your credit there is nobody official to complain to. Our responsible gaming page lists the limits worth setting before a first top-up.

Installing and logging in to ACE333

The old download page had three buttons for ACE333: iPhone, Android and Windows. The Android button actually pointed at the Windows installer, so it never worked on a phone. The file host behind all three has since been deleted, and we don't host or link app files.

Because ACE333 isn't in Google Play, an Android install means allowing "install unknown apps" for your browser or file manager. Switch that off again once you're done. Search results for an "ACE333 APK" or a "mod APK" can hand you anything, including apps built to read your SMS codes. On iPhone these apps install through an enterprise profile that Apple revokes when it spots the misuse, after which the app stops opening. Take a file only from whoever issued your ID, and refuse any request for accessibility, SMS or device admin rights. The install notes for ACE333 go through the checks.

Logging in is simpler than the search results suggest. You type the ID and password you were given into the app's own login screen, and nowhere else. If you lose the password, only the person who issued the ID can reset it. Our logins guide covers fake login pages and IDs that stop working.

ACE333 games on this page

Each of these games once had its own page of machine-translated review copy, sometimes about a different game. Here they are written from the six screenshots each page carried. Two of them, Iron Man 3 and The Incredible Hulk, are based on film characters, so we describe those without showing them.

3 Kings

Three bearded gods stand on the reels in round gold frames: one in a red robe holding a small child, one in green with a peach and a long staff, one in gold holding a jade sceptre and a gold pot. They look like the Fu, Lu and Shou star gods of Chinese new year prints. A white pearl gripped by a golden dragon claw is the other picture symbol, and A to 10 fill the rest.

Gold dragons coil around pillars marked 15 Lines. One spin bets 0.10 a line for 1.50, another 0.01 a line for 0.15, and that one pays 0.04 on line 2 and offers Take or Gamble. The old page mostly described Zao Chai Tong Zi instead, and its claim that lines pay both ways can't be checked here.

5 Dragons

A "Power Pay" badge sits over the top left corner and "Reel Power" panels flank the reels, so this is a ways game rather than a fixed-line one. A line over the reels says three or more coins from left to right start the feature, and the coin in question is a gold 乾隆通寶 piece.

The pictures are a golden carp, a foo dog, two turtles, a phoenix, a red envelope and a green dragon head. With the "5Reels+Extra" button crossed out the bet reads 1.25. With it ticked, on another screen, it reads 1.50. A gamble screen after a win offers Red or Black to double it, or a suit for four times.

5 Koi

The purple sister of 5 Dragons, with the same Reel Power sides and the same bottom bar. Pink lotus flowers sit on top of each reel. The symbols are big round medallions with a character and an English word underneath: 祿 Prosperity, 財 Wealth, 福 Good Luck and 吉 Lucky. Red envelopes, a gold coin and a golden koi on a green tile join them.

Every screenshot plays at 1.25 with 5Reels+Extra switched off. One win message reads "You won Three J = 1.00", and a spade-shaped Gamble button appears beside it. The old page said the free games offer a choice of five koi. None of our shots reaches that screen.

777 Blazing

A classic fruit machine look on five reels: single, double and triple bars, blue dollar signs, gold bells and red sevens, one of them on fire. Five small game logos run across the top (Blazing, Diamond Line, Double Jackpot, Triple Jackpot and Blazing Seven Times Pay), each with a prize under it.

Those prizes scale with the bet. At 0.05 a line and 1.00 in total they read $10 up to $10k. At 0.01 a line and 0.20 in total they drop to $2 up to $2000, so the game has 20 lines. The sides hold four more meters, Mega, Major, Random and Minor, with Mega above 537,000. Two of the six screenshots show a card gamble after a win.

88 Fortune

The reels call it 88 Fortunes. A notice at the top says there are 243 ways to win, and the bet works differently from the other slots here. A column on the left sells gold symbols: one for 8 credits, two for 18, three for 38, four for 68 and all five for 88. Each level turns one more picture gold, and a strip above it shows which pictures are active.

Our shot plays one gold symbol at x0.10 per spin, a total bet of 0.80. The pictures are a gong, a junk under sail, silver ingots, red 福 tiles, a turtle, a jade phoenix and a 招財進寶 coin. Grand, Major, Minor and Mini jackpots sit locked on the right. Another screenshot shows three treasure pots above three small machines.

Amazing Thailand

The balance, bet and win boxes sit along the top here, over a gold temple skyline, with Random Jackpot, Major and Minor meters beneath them. All 50 lines are selected in every screenshot, at 0.02 a line for 1.00 or 0.01 for 0.50.

The symbols are a golden Buddha face, a pair of elephant tusks, a pink lotus, a dancer in a white feathered costume, a gold stupa, a tiger and a Muay Thai fighter with taped hands. The old page said the fighter is an expanding wild that only lands on reels 2 and 4. In the screenshot above he sits on reel 3, so that part of the old description doesn't match this version.

Arctic Treasure

Night-blue reels framed in ice, with 20 numbered line tabs down both sides. The picture symbols are a snowy owl, a woman in white fur with a silver headband, a grey wolf, a polar bear and a hunter paddling a kayak between ice floes. The low symbols are A, K, Q, J and 10 cut from ice with icicles hanging off them.

In our first screenshot all 20 lines are drawn over the grid at a bet of 1.00. The later ones drop to one line at 0.01, and one of those lands five snowy owls across the reels. No shot shows a pay table, so the wild can't be named.

Bonus Bears

A cartoon slot set in a pine forest below snowy mountains, with bees buzzing around a wobbly "Bonus Bears" logo. There are 25 lines, and the first screenshot bets 1.00 on all of them.

The cast is a red-haired park ranger, a grey bear, a skunk, a muscle-flexing bee, a picnic basket and a beehive, plus bubbly A to 9 letters. The old page described a Honey bonus: three hives start it, and the bear climbs one of five trees looking for honey pots. We only have base-game spins, so that is the old page's word. Joker123 carries the same game, written up in its own section.

Boy King's Treasure

Egypt, in bright daylight: a sandy frame, two sphinx heads over the reels, pyramids and the Nile behind. A big Jackpot box sits in the top left at just over 40,650, with Minor and Major under the sphinxes.

The panel spells the bet out as a sum: 0.05 a line times 20 lines equals 1.00, and another shot has 0.01 times 1. Symbols include a golden pharaoh mask, a lioness mask, a cobra, a gold cuff with a red stone, a blue hippo figurine and a falcon, with jewelled A to 10 below. The old page mentioned two wilds, one of them the king himself, but no screenshot marks a symbol as wild.

Captain's Treasure

Captain's Treasure looks older than the rest, like a cabinet in an arcade hall. A sign on the right reads "5 Reel Multiline Videoslots, Play 1 to 9 Coins", and nine coloured line tabs run down both sides of the reels.

The symbols are ship's wheels, rolled sea charts, an anchor, open treasure chests and a round pirate medallion, with A to 9 printed on parchment. Our first spin plays all 9 lines at 0.90 and the next one line at 0.01. The Dollar Ball switch shows Enable, and a red Progressive Jackpot ticker runs along the top edge.

Cherry Love

Dark pink and black, with a winged logo and 30 lines. The symbols are a silver lighter engraved CL, a snake ring, a heart with a dagger and a LOVE banner, and a Cherry Love keychain. The scatter is a pair of cherries.

The first screenshot plays all 30 lines for 1.50, the rest one line at 0.01. Several of the other shots show a photo of a woman on one reel, which is why we've picked this one. Another had a jackpot pop-up with a player's phone-style ID in it, and we've left that out too. The same slot has a page of its own on 918Kiss.

Dolphin Reef

Bright, clean reels on a pale blue background, with 20 numbered bubbles down each side. A clownfish, a starfish, a seahorse and a sea turtle are the picture symbols, and a leaping dolphin on a purple tile is the one that matters.

The old page said the dolphin is a wild that lands only on reels 2 and 4, and a treasure chest scatter starts the bonus. The screenshot above has the dolphin on reel 2, which fits. Bets on our screens are 1.00 on all 20 lines, then 0.01 on one. The old page also mentioned a card gamble after wins, where you guess the colour or suit, but none of these six shots shows it.

Iron Man 3

A film tie-in slot, so we're describing it rather than showing the art. The reels sit in a dark steel workshop with a glowing lightning tube on the left. Symbols include the hero's red and gold suit, a blue, white and red armoured suit, the round arc reactor, an IRON MAN logo tile and a hooded figure with glowing eyes in a green frame.

The panel shows 25 lines at 0.05 a line, a total bet of 1.25. Four meters run across the top: Ultimate Power above 512,000, Extra Power, Super Power and Power. The old page described three free-game modes, one of them 15 free games with a 2x to 5x multiplier. Our screenshots show only base-game spins.

The Incredible Hulk

The second film tie-in, and the Iron Man 3 panel in green: 25 lines, 0.05 a line, 1.25 in total, and the same four Power meters. The Ultimate Power figure is within a few hundred credits of the Iron Man 3 one, which fits the old page's claim that these jackpots are linked across the series.

On the reels are green beakers, a radiation sign, a military helicopter and the game's logo tile, with A to 10 carved from cracked stone. In our first screenshot all 25 lines are drawn over the grid. The old page described a bonus where you smash helicopters and police cars, and 10 free games paying triple. Neither appears in our six screenshots.

Zao Chai Tong Zi

招財童子, the fortune-bringing child, on a sunny yellow board. Four chubby children fill the picture symbols: a boy hugging gold ingots, a girl with a pink flower holding an ingot, a girl with a peach and a boy carrying a fish.

Lion dance heads, red envelopes with coins, a red 福 bag, firecrackers, a triple coin knot and a pineapple marked 旺 fill the other spots, along with a green round tile carrying the game's own logo. It is a 5 by 3 slot with 9 lines. One spin bets 0.90 on all nine, another 0.01 on one. The Dollar Ball switch in the corner reads Enable.
