Zapak Tambola
Zapak Tambola is a Facebook bingo app that is currently in beta testing so there may be one or two minor issues with the game which indicate changes ahead as the developers work to iron out any bugs. However, despite this the game is well developed so the concept should always remain the same and the most any players are likely to experience are a few tweaks as Zapak Tambola grows and becomes more popular.
This Facebook bingo app has 5,000 monthly users, so it is already fairly popular. When you first load Zapak Tambola you will be invited to complete a tutorial. Not only will this show you how to get started but you will also be rewarded with XP, TCoins and TCash. All of which are vital to the game play and will give you a boost. You have the choice of manual or auto rooms and your tutorial will take you through your first Zapak Tambola game in manual mode which means you need to mark your own cards. The calls are fairly quick so it is probably better to start with just one card. Once you have completed the tutorial, you are ready to play your first real game at Zapak Tambola with a host of rooms to choose from and the calls on real games are much slower.

Object of the game
When you enter a room at Zapak Tambola you will have a small animation of the players in the room displaying their avatars. To the bottom of this screen there will be the tabs which show the prizes awarded for each game. Zapak Tambola awards prizes to the first player to mark five numbers off any cards, the first to get the top line, bottom line, middle line and full house. When a Zapak Tambola player wins any of these they light in red up so that you can clearly see the current wins.
Across the top of your room page you will see all of the information that will be important to you for your bingo gameplay. This includes your TCoins and TCash balance, your XP and POP (popularity points). Chat is available to the bottom right and at the bottom of the page you can see a list of all players in the room and a click of a bottom to the left will allow you to view your Zapak Tambola buddies.
Select the amount of tickets you want to purchase and click buy and wait for the game to start. Whether you are manually marking your cards or in an auto room, this Facebook bingo app requires manual claims for all wins by clicking the claim button to the right of the corresponding card. Zapak Tambola will indicate the amount of numbers you need for a win and will auto sort the cards in auto rooms, so it is easy to see when you are close to winning.
Special features
Zapak Tambola offer many special features and the ability to create your own avatar is just one of them. The one which could be most beneficial to you is POP. You will get pop each time you receive a gift from another player and this will also give you XP and help your rise through the levels much quicker. When it comes to creating your avatar at Zapak Tambola, many of the items you need will be free but the choice will be limited until your XP level rises. There will be some items that won’t be available with this Facebook bingo app until you reach certain XP levels and there will also be some that you will need to purchase.
Tournaments
There are no active tournaments available at Zapak Tambola but there are frequent competitions where you can win prizes and details of these can be found on this Facebook bingo apps wall.
Rewards
Zapak Tambola will reward you for everything you do in one way or another. Send gifts to other players and they will more than likely send you one back which will increase your POP and XP. You will be rewarded with a daily bonus but the more consecutive days that you play, the higher your daily bonus. You will also be rewarded if you win bingo and the rewards are not just the game prize but an increase to your Zapak Tambola XP too.
You can visit the shop to purchase changes to your avatar, the shop button can be found in both the lobby and in any of the bingo rooms at Zapak Tambola. However, gifts for friends are free and can be found at the top left of your bingo room.
