Matka

What is Ezugi’s Matka Live?

Matka is a simple yet fun lottery-style game originating from India, where players select numbers from 0 to 9 to create a winning 3-digit combination.

Matka is based on the traditional Indian game dating back to the 1950s. The original game, Satta Matka, was all about betting on the opening and closing exchange rates of cotton transported from New York to Bombay. Over the years, the game evolved and was even played with cards at one point.

Ezugi‘s take on the game uses balls which are spun in a bowl (Matka) and drawn by the dealer with a golden ladle. The balls have values from 0 to 9. You should choose from the same range for a chance to win a payout of up to 8:1.

Although Matka is a simple game with low payouts, the unpredictability of each ball draw, combined with the fantastic atmosphere the game creates, makes it worth trying.

How to Play Matka Live?

Game Interface

You will easily get around, since the interface of the game is as simple as its rules. Basically, you select a bet that suits your bankroll, and a screen featuring numbers from 0 to 9 appears. 

Interface explained:

• Bet – You need to click on the chip to place your bet.
• Screen with Numbers – Pick 3 numbers from 0 to 9.
• Auto Number Selection – You can use this feature to have the game select numbers for you if you fail to do it before the betting time elapses, or you simply don’t want to pick the numbers manually.
• Autoplay – Lets you activate from 5 to 100 automatic rounds at a selected bet value. 

Strategy to Play Matka Live

Matka is a game based on sheer luck, so no strategy can help you win at it. Still, there are a few things you can do to make the most out of playing it.

First of all, don’t risk more than you can afford to lose. Set your budget for Matka and keep your bets low. Make sure not to exceed the loss limit you have previously set.

If you are on a winning streak, it’s of utmost importance to know when to stop, or you may lose the funds you’ve won.

My Results in Different Playing Sessions

I played around 50 rounds at a €5 stake, out of which about two-thirds ended with a second-chance game. Unfortunately, not many of them ended successfully for me.

As for the other half, I managed to win with a 2-number match most of the time, meaning I won 2:1. Only a few times was I lucky enough to win with a 3-number match, which helped me recover my losses to a certain degree.

Other sessions played out similarly, which confirms the luck-based nature of the game. That’s why it’s important to play Matka responsibly.
