How to play
Everything you need to know about each game. You play with free coins only: no deposits, no withdrawals, no cash prizes.
Matka
Each matka market (Kalyan, Milan, Sridevi…) declares two results a day: the open result, then the close result a couple of hours later. Both are made from pannas.
128
Open panna
1+2+8 = 11 → ank 1
12
Jodi
open ank 1, close ank 2
390
Close panna
3+9+0 = 12 → ank 2
Panna (patti)
A panna is 3 digits written in ascending order, where 0 counts as the highest digit (it comes after 9). So 128 and 390 are pannas, but 821 or 039 are not.
Ank
The ank of a panna is the last digit of the sum of its digits: 128 → 1+2+8 = 11 → ank 1; 390 → 12 → ank 2.
Jodi
The jodi is the open ank followed by the close ank, 00 to 99. With 128 open and 390 close the jodi is 12. On charts, red jodis are doubles (11, 22…) and cut pairs (05, 16, 27…).
SP, DP and TP
Single Panna (SP): three different digits, e.g. 128 (120 in all). Double Panna (DP): two digits the same, e.g. 118 or 550 (90 in all). Triple Panna (TP): all three the same, e.g. 777 (10 in all). Every ank has 22 pannas: 12 SP, 9 DP and 1 TP.
Half sangam and full sangam
Half sangam A is open ank + close panna (e.g. 1-390); half sangam B is open panna + close ank (e.g. 128-2). Full sangam is open panna + close panna (e.g. 128-390). They pay the most because both results must match.
Open and close sessions, cutoffs
Single ank and panna bets can be placed for the open session (settled by the open result) or the close session (settled by the close result). Jodi and sangam bets need both results, so they must be placed before the open cutoff and settle at the close.
Betting for each session stops a few minutes before its result time (the cutoff, usually 10 minutes). Night markets can close after midnight.
Bet packs
Packs are shortcuts that add many ordinary bets to your slip at once. Each bet in a pack is settled on its own.
- SP Motor: Enter 3–9 digits; bets every Single Panna made from them.
- DP Motor: Enter 2–9 digits; bets every Double Panna made from them.
- All SP of Ank: All 12 Single Pannas that add up to the ank.
- All DP of Ank: All 9 Double Pannas that add up to the ank.
- TP of Ank: The Triple Panna that adds up to the ank.
- All Panna of Ank: All 22 pannas (SP, DP, TP) of the ank.
- Cycle Panna: Every panna containing both digits (10 pannas).
- Odd / Even: Bets all five odd or even anks.
- Red Jodi: All 20 red-bracket jodis (00, 05, 11, 16 …).
- Family Jodi: A jodi and its cut family (up to 8 jodis).
- Digit Based Jodi: Every jodi from the left digits × right digits.
Typical rates: single ank 10 → 95, jodi 10 → 950, single panna 10 → 1,500. See game rates for every market.
Starline
Starline draws a result every hour through the day. Each result is one panna and its ank, shown as 128-1. You can play single ank, single panna, double panna and triple panna on any draw that is still open. Betting closes a few minutes before each draw time.
Gali / Disawar
Gali, Disawar, Faridabad and Ghaziabad declare one 2-digit number (00–99) a day.
Jodi
Pick the exact number. If the result is 47, jodi 47 wins (10 → 950).
Andar Haruf
Pick the first (inside) digit. Result 47 → Andar 4 wins (10 → 95).
Bahar Haruf
Pick the second (outside) digit. Result 47 → Bahar 7 wins (10 → 95).
Pick 3 & Pick 4
Pick 3 draws three digits (0–9 each, repeats allowed) and Pick 4 draws four. Choose how you want to match:
Straight
All digits in the exact order. Draw 472: straight 472 wins, 427 doesn't. Pick 3 straight pays 10 → 5,000.
Box
Your digits in any order. Draw 472: box 247 wins. The rate depends on how many orders your digits can make: 3-way (like 112) or 6-way (like 123) for Pick 3; 4-, 6-, 12- or 24-way for Pick 4.
Front & back pair (Pick 3)
The first two (front) or last two (back) digits in order. Draw 472: front 47 and back 72 win.
Lotto 6/49
Pick 6 numbers from 1 to 49. Six numbers are drawn. Match 3, 4 or 5 for a fixed prize. Match all 6 to win the jackpot, which is shared equally by everyone who matches all six in that draw.
Part of every ticket goes into the jackpot, so it keeps growing until somebody wins it; then it restarts from its base amount.
Keno
Pick 1 to 10 numbers (your “spots”) from 1 to 80. 20 numbers are drawn. The more of your spots are drawn, the more you win. What you win depends on how many spots you picked and how many matched: see the Keno paytable. Prizes are multiples of your stake.
Scratch cards
Buy a card from a live series for a fixed number of coins and scratch it to see your prize straight away. Each series has a fixed number of cards and a published prize table.
It's provably fair: before the first card is sold, every card is shuffled and a SHA-256 fingerprint of the full list is published. When the series closes, the list itself is published so anyone can check it matches. See scratch cards.
