TAMBOLA

Tambola On Bluboy

Tambola (also known as Housie or Bingo) is a game of probability. Players mark off numbers on a ticket as they are drawn and called out by the system. The objective is to claim completed patterns before other players.

Tambola on the Bluboy app is the same as the classic version of the game. Join the active tournaments held every day, mark called-out numbers on your ticket, and claim standard lines or a full house to climb the leaderboard.

Tambola Facts

  • Tambola is believed to have originated in Italy in the early 1500s as a weekly lottery system, later morphing into a popular social board game globally.
  • A standard Tambola ticket contains 27 spaces in a 3x9 grid. Each row contains exactly 5 numbers, making a total of 15 numbers per ticket.

Tambola Focus Points

  • Alertness: Drawing happens quickly (6 seconds per number). Missing a number can cost you a line or full house claim.
  • Patterns: Familiarize yourself with standard patterns (Early 5, Top/Middle/Bottom rows, and Full House) to claim them the instant they are completed.
  • Speed: Multiple players might hit Full House at the same time. The player who claims it fastest gains the highest ranking.
