Tambola Tools is a small set of free, browser-based tools for playing tambola (also known as housie or 90-ball bingo) — a number generator, a voice caller, and a printable ticket generator.
Why I built this
I'm [Your Name], and I built Tambola Tools because I kept ending up as the informal “number caller” at family and community tambola games and got tired of the usual mess: a bag of tokens, someone losing track of what's already been called, arguments over a skipped number. I wanted something that anyone could open on a phone or laptop, in a browser, with no signup and no app install, and just start a fair, trackable game in seconds.
That's the whole point of the site: three simple tools that handle the parts of hosting tambola that are annoying to do by hand.
What's on the site
- Number Generator— calls random, non-repeating numbers from 1–90 and tracks what's been called.
- Online Caller — the same generator with voice announcements, built for video calls and larger groups.
- Tickets Generator — creates valid 3×9 tambola tickets you can print or save as a PDF.
How it's built and maintained
The tools are built and run by me directly — there's no company or team behind this, just a single maintainer. If something breaks or a number seems off, I want to hear about it (see the Contact page).
A note on accuracy
The written guides on this site (rules, number-call traditions, hosting tips) are meant as general, practical reference for people running a casual game — not as authoritative history or legal guidance. If you spot something inaccurate, please let me know.
