Online gaming portal Zapak.com today announced its foray into social gaming with the launch of World's first Housie game on Facebook called Zapak Tambola.
This is Zapak's first social game on Facebook, which is an independent application with complete social integration.
Zapak Tambola is the version of a very popular game called Housie, played in clubs, parties and other social get-togethers across India. The multi-player game allows players to chat with each other from the same room and also send and exchange virtual gifts.
The exciting part is that unlike the offline game, Zapak Tambola allows players to experiment with different avatars which they can show off. The advanced Avatar feature is a first in synchronous (games where players play live with each other) games on Facebook.
Users have to log on to - http://apps.facebook.com/zapaktambola/ and choose a room from the lobby to play in. The rooms are with variable ticket prices appealing to both players who like to play it safe and the ones who love to win big. Then the user buys tickets to participate in the game. Numbers are called out randomly by the Tambola Host and crossed automatically on the ticket purchased. The winners are the players who claim first on the numbers getting crossed out in a particular pattern (Jaldi 5, Top, Middle and Bottom Rows, Full house).
