The manual system typically has a bag or a container that has dices which are labelled from 1 to 90 and a tambola game board where these numbers will be placed after they are announced. There can also be a digital system of announcing the numbers where the tambola board is not required and the numbers are generated randomly by a digital web application on the browser or a mobile app. This makes it feasible to play tambola if you are just having the tickets and do not have the board or the dices.We provide such a digital system for playing the tambola game.
