Bug Fixes
Octro Tambola (Housie) is a vibrant digital translation of the classic Indian family game. It manages to capture the communal energy of a physical Tambola night through its clever multiplayer lobbies and real-time calling system. The UI is bright and celebration-focused, with every 'Full House' or 'Early Five' win feeling like a genuine event on the screen.
What I appreciated most was the automation options. You can choose to manually dab your tickets for that authentic feel, or let the app handle it so you can focus on the social chat. The inclusion of various game 'parties' and the ability to play with thousands of people globally makes the game feel much larger and more high-stakes than a simple home board. It’s a polished social experience that honors its cultural roots while taking full advantage of modern mobile connectivity.
Real-time multiplayer with millions of users
Voice caller with multiple language support
Private rooms for friends and family
Vibrant animations and daily rewards
Keep an eye on the 'Claims' bar. Don't wait—tap the button as soon as you hit 'Corners' or a 'Line'. The prize goes to the first person who taps, even if multiple people have the same numbers dabbed.
You can play with up to 3 tickets at once. Use the 'Auto-Dab' feature if you find managing multiple tickets too fast-paced, allowing you to participate in the high-reward 'Mega Parties'.
No, Octro Tambola uses virtual currency for entertainment purposes and does not offer real-world prizes.
This game so addictive but x close button not visible after an add is played also, UI can be more better. But thank you guys feeling nostalgic.
I had been enjoying the game initially, but there are so many bogus games, where it shows there are 10 players & as the game continues I realize that I’m playing alone, which is extremely annoying. I can’t even quit as I will loose there is a penalty. And what’s with the unnecessary high ticket prices & stakes? To have a variation, try having more different items to win instead of just 6 options. And pls have an option of the lady just reading the numbers instead of adding phrases before each number.
I feel this game works on trick when you have more coins you always get the numbers which are not in your ticket and when you are almost there to complete something to claim you won’t get number till end. It seems like game doesn’t want you to win and when you have less coins that you will not be able to play suddenly you get all numbers you want and win more coins. Doesn’t even deserve one star.
I would like to say I love this game but I recently realized that now there no daily challenges that were there before.. looking forward to it.
Absolutely superb. I’m a big fan of Tambola and this app truly justified this amazing game. Love the interface and all the included features.
In the lockdown of coronavirus my mom’s cousins and me I’m 7 play this game when I tried to play it I like it very very much 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂😋😚😍😍😍😍this is my best game ever
I like it very much but we should be allowed to choose the ticket of the game of our choice
Everyday my chips reduce. I felt that so one day I took a screenshot at night when my chips were around 48 lakhs and when opened the app next day in the morning the reduced to 21 lakhs and even my gems reduced. That is so frustrating. Don’t feel like playing it anymore
