How to Play Matka — Step by Step Beginner Guide 2026

New to Satta Matka? RSBoss.net explains how to play matka in the simplest way. Matka is a number game where you guess digits between 0 and 9. The market opens with a three-digit number (open panna) and closes with another (close panna). The player who guesses correctly wins the payout for that bet type.

Matka Basics — The Terms You Must Know

Single (Ank): Any digit from 0 to 9
Jodi: Two-digit pair from 00 to 99 (open + close digit)
Panna / Patti: Three-digit open or close number
Half Sangam: One panna + the jodi
Full Sangam: Both open and close pannas combined

Step by Step — How a Matka Game Runs

Choose a market (e.g. Kalyan Matka) and check its timing
Pick your numbers — single, jodi, or panna
Wait for the open result to be declared
Wait for the close result in the evening
Match your numbers with the final result to win

Understanding the Result Format

A typical matka result looks like 123-56-789:

123 = Open Panna
Sum 1+2+3 = 6 → 6 is the open single (ank)
56 = Jodi (open single 5-style pair format)
789 = Close Panna
Sum 7+8+9 = 24 → last digit 4 is the close single

Matka History — Where it Started

Matka was first started in 1962 by Kalyanji Bhagat and popularised further by Ratan Khatri in the 1960s. Originally numbers were drawn from a matka (earthen pot). Today, results are declared from playing cards but the game remains the same. Read the full story on the Satta Matka History page.
