What is a bogus claim in Tambola?

A bogus claim occurs when a player claims a combination but has marked a number that has not yet been drawn by the caller. The player's card is typically disqualified.

How many winning combinations can be played in one game?

Commonly, games play for Early Five, three lines (Top, Middle, Bottom), and one or two Full Houses, making a total of 5-6 prizes per round.

Tambola Game Rules & Winning Combinations

To make the **housie game** and **kitty party game** sessions more thrilling, players use multiple winning criteria. Here are the traditional winning combinations that you can play in our **tambola game**:

1. Standard Winning Combinations

Early Five: The ticket that is the first to cross out any 5 numbers.
Top Line / First Row: The ticket that is the first to cross out all 5 numbers in the first horizontal row.
Middle Line / Second Row: The ticket that is the first to cross out all 5 numbers in the second horizontal row.
Bottom Line / Third Row: The ticket that is the first to cross out all 5 numbers in the third horizontal row.
Four Corners: The ticket that is the first to cross out all 4 corner numbers (the first and last numbers of the top and bottom rows).
Full House (First & Second): The grand prizes! A player claims "Full House" when all 15 numbers on their ticket have been successfully called and marked. Usually, games offer multiple Full Houses to keep the excitement alive.

2. Handling Claim Verifications

When a player shouts "Housie!" or "Line!", the caller pauses number generation. The player reads their numbers, and the caller cross-checks them against the called logs. If the claim contains any numbers that have not been drawn yet, it is marked as a **bogus claim**, and that ticket is disqualified for the remainder of the round.
