If you are keen in the world of gambling and frequents a gambling house, then Satta Matka is not at all a new term for you. Satta Matka is a major gambling trend which started in the 1960's in the commercial capital of India Mumbai (then Bombay). The big names in madhur night the gambling industry, Ratan Khatri and Kalyanji Bhagat were the initiators of Satta Matka, managed the overall matka spread in the city of Mumbai and other parts of Maharashtra to start with. The Worli Matka was first launched by Kalyanji Bhagat way back in the year 1962. Khatri then launched the New Worli Matka two years later in the year 1964, which was almost similar to the then prevailing rules of the gambling game of Satta. Kalyanji Bhagat's matka were organized and played in all the seven days in the week, whereas Ratan Khatri's matka were organized only on the week days. The sprout of the several cotton mills in the commercial city of Mumbai and the other industries saw many of the workers getting prone to the process of Satta and Matka gambling which led to huge crowd in the Satta and Matka shops in and around the various cotton mills in Mumbai.

The 1980's and 1990's witnessed the Satta Matka kalyan organization accomplishing and achieving its biggest all-time peak in the gambling business. Betting the cumulative revenue touching to INR 500 crores every month is indeed significantly a huge business at that point of time. The Mumbai police's intensive strike on the matka centers forced the several Kalyan Matka investors to literally flee away or move their gambling business to the city's outskirts. Many of the Satta and Matka centers also moved to the other Indian states of the Gujarat, Rajasthan, Karnataka and many other states in the country of India. With no major source of the gambling left in the city of Mumbai with the shutting down of the several Satta and Matka centers, the gamblers literally found other sources of the gambling in the meanwhile such as the online gambling opportunities over the internet and also the zhatpat lotteries. During that particular course of time, the millions of the gamblers who were rich began to very ardently look out for the alternate processes of gambling through betting on the cricket matches which became a trend in due course of time. Until the year 1995, it was surveyed that more than 2, 000 bookies were engaged in the Satta and Matka gambling business in the entire city of Mumbai and the various nearby places, but after that the gambling business started to lose its prevailing charm of three decades and then the business were done only in merely 300 centers instead of 2000 in so many years. Lately the typical monthly earnings of the Satta Matka Kalyan have decreased and are close to Rs. 100 crores only.
