Housie/Tambola is played on a basic principle. The organizer/caller calls the Number one at a time and players need to strike Numbers on their tickets. Tambola/Housie can be played in many different ways depending on the competency level of the target audience.

American version of Tambola is called ‘Bingo’ and it is slightly different from Tambola.

Generally, Tambola is played with Numbers (1-90) being called out by 1 person/caller and players striking out those Numbers on their Tickets.

Start Playing Tambola

The CALLER will start the Housie-Tambola app and calls out the numbers or use Shout out feature.

If a number called by caller exists on a player’s ticket, then the player has to strike it.

Once a particular Winning point is achieved by a player, he has to claim for it immediately.

caller has to verify the winning by matching the struck numbers on the ticket with the called out numbers. CALLER then declares if the winning has been successfully claimed. If not, the winning point is still available to be claimed.

Game ends when all the FULL HOUSE are successfully claimed.
