Tambola Rules

Tambola, also known as Tombola, Bingo or Housie is a popular game that is believed to be originated in Italy in early 1500s. Although Bingo is the name used in most of the western countries, India, Pakistan and other South East Asian countries prefer to call this game of probability as Tambola or Tombola. The game is fun to play and easy to learn. The rules of Tambola are as given below:

Tambola Tickets

As a rule, each player must buy at least one ticket to enter a game. A typical 90 ball Tambola ticket consists of 3 rows and 9 columns which make 27 spaces. Each row has a total of 5 numbers printed on it. A column can have 1, 2 or the maximum 3 numbers printed on it. The first column in the ticket will have numbers from 1-9, the second column will have 10-19, third column with 20-29 and so on until the 9th column which will be numbered in between 80-90.

Gameplay

The game begins with a ball draw. As the game progresses, the board is marked with each ball that is drawn. The objective of the game is to mark/ dab all the numbers found in the ticket as called by the dealer. The player who first mark all the numbers in a winning pattern and calls a win is declared as the WINNER of that pattern after the dealer checks his ticket and verify it with numbers drawn.

The game ends when all 90 numbers are drawn, or when a winner is declared for all the patterns of the game, whichever comes first.
