In Hindi, \“a game of chance\“ is commonly translated as \“जुआ\“ （Jua） or \“सट्टा\“ （Satta）, which refers to gambling activities where the outcome depends primarily on luck rather than skill.
In India, traditional games of chance include \“Teen Patti\“, a three-card betting game similar to poker, and \“Satta Matka\“, a numbers-based lottery that originated in Mumbai. These games are often played during festivals like Diwali, where \“Diwali Laxmi Puja\“ sometimes involves small-stakes gambling as a cultural tradition.
Modern regulated games include state-run lotteries like \“Playwin Lottery\“ and \“Dear Lottery\“, which are legal in some states. However, unorganized gambling like \“Matka Gambling\“ remains illegal under the Public Gambling Act of 1867.
Popular local betting products include \“RummyCircle\“ for card games and \“Dream11\“ for fantasy sports, which are considered games of skill and are legally permissible. Always verify local laws before participating. |
