Live22, a slot lobby with a jackpot bar on every game

The old Live22 page spent most of its words on stress and busy office lives, and told you that you could have fun with slot games. It didn't say what the app actually is. Here it is plainly, from the lobby screenshot and the 37 game pages under it.

Live22 is a game lobby for phones and computers. As with the other apps on this site, you can't sign up inside it. An agent or a website with back-office access gives you a game ID and password, you send money by bank transfer, DuitNow or e-wallet, and they load the same amount as credit onto that ID. Withdrawals go the same way in reverse.

The lobby

The lobby screenshot shows six tabs across the top: Featured, Slots, Table, Arcade, Favourite and Room. Under Featured are twelve tiles, among them Buffalo Blaze, Classic Diamond, Mystery Lake Pearl, Dashing Inferno, God Of Three and Great Abundance. The top bar shows the player ID, a total jackpot counter in the billions and the balance. We've blurred the ID and balance, and two tiles that use photo-real faces.

The name suggests live dealers, but that's not what the old site covered. Every one of its 37 Live22 pages is a slot.

What every game shares

Open any Live22 slot and the frame is the same. Along the top: a home button, a trophy, your ID, the total jackpot, your balance, an info button and settings. Just below, most games show four pools, Grand, Major, Minor and Mini, and a badge on the right with a room name like HongKong, Tokyo or Macau. Along the bottom: Total Bet with arrows, Max Bet, a message box, Auto Spin, Fast and Spin.

A few games break the pattern. Jingle Winnings and Chinese New Year use a different screen where you set bet value, lines and line bet separately.

Games worth a look

• 3x Dragon Supreme: a three-reel bars and sevens machine with a 3x dragon.
• Pop Kittens: real kitten photos that fill whole reels.
• Rhino Crash: 1,024 ways across a four-row grid.
• Legend Of The White Shark: listed as a shark game, actually the White Snake folk tale.
• Imperial Chase: the old text described Napoleon, the screens show a Chinese palace.

The full list is on the Live22 hub.

How it gets onto a phone

The old download page had four links: an Android APK, an iPhone install, a Windows program and a Mac installer, all on the old site's own file server. That server no longer answers, and we don't host copies.

Live22 was never in Google Play or the App Store. On Android that means turning on "install unknown apps" for your browser or file manager, which lets any file from that source install, so switch it off again afterwards. On iPhone these apps come as enterprise installs: you open Settings, General, VPN and Device Management and trust the developer's profile. Apple withdraws those certificates often, which is why such apps stop opening without warning. The Windows and Mac versions were plain installers. Be wary of any app that asks for access to your SMS or contacts.

If you still want to play, get a Live22 ID through our partner and keep the first top-up small.
