History of Satta Matka
Matka gambling or Satta is a form of lottery that originally involved betting on the opening and closing rates of cotton transmitted from the New York Cotton Exchange. It originated before India's independence when it was known as Ankada Jugar ("figures gambling").
In the 1960s, the system was replaced with other ways of generating random numbers, including pulling slips from a large earthenware pot known as a matka, or dealing playing cards.
⚠️ Legal Note: Matka gambling is currently illegal in India. This page is for educational and informational purposes only.
In 1961, the New York Cotton Exchange stopped the practice, which caused punters to look for alternative ways to keep the matka business alive. Rattan Khatri introduced the idea of declaring opening and closing rates of imaginary products. Numbers were written on pieces of paper and put into a matka (a large earthen pitcher). One person would then draw a chit and declare the winning numbers.
In 1962, Kalyanji Bhagat started the Worli matka. Rattan Khatri introduced the New Worli matka in 1964 with slight modifications to the rules. Kalyanji Bhagat's matka ran all days of the week, while Rattan Khatri's matka ran only five days a week (Monday to Friday).
During the flourishing of textile mills in Mumbai, many mill workers played matka, resulting in bookies opening shops around the mill areas in Central Mumbai, which became the hub of the matka business.
The 1980s and 1990s saw the matka business reach its peak with betting volumes exceeding Rs. 500 crore every month. The Mumbai police's massive crackdown on matka dens forced dealers to shift to the city's outskirts, with many moving to Gujarat, Rajasthan, and other states.
In 1995, there were over 2,000 bookies in Mumbai and neighboring towns, but numbers have since declined to less than 300. The average monthly turnover now remains around Rs. 100 crore.
Kalyanji Bhagat
Kalyanji Bhagat (Founder of Kalyan Matka)
Kalyanji Bhagat was born a farmer in the village of Ratadia, Ganesh Wala in Kutch, Gujarat. His family name was Gala, and the name Bhagat (a modification of "bhakt") was a title given by the King of Kutch for their religiousness.
He arrived in Bombay as a migrant in 1941 and initially did odd jobs from masala ferriwala (spice seller) to managing a grocery store. In the 1960s, while running a grocery shop in Worli, he pioneered matka gambling by accepting bets based on the opening and closing rates of cotton traded on the New York wholesale market. He operated from the compound of his building Vinod Mahal in Worli.
After Kalyanji Bhagat, his son Suresh Bhagat managed the business along with his wife Jaya Bhagat, whom he married in 1979.
Suresh Bhagat
Suresh Bhagat (Son of Kalyanji Bhagat)
On June 11, 2008, a truck rammed into a Mahindra Scorpio in which Suresh Bhagat and six others, including his lawyer and bodyguards, were traveling, killing all of them. They were returning from an Alibaug court hearing in a 1998 narcotics case.
Investigations revealed that Hitesh Bhagat (Suresh's son) and his mother Jaya Bhagat had hatched the plot to kill Suresh Bhagat. Hitesh and nine others, including Jaya, were arrested and tried under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act and subsequently convicted.
Ratan Khatri - The Legendary Matka King
Ratan Khatri (The Original Matka King)
Rattan Khatri, known as the Matka King, controlled a nationwide illegal gambling network with international connections from the early 1960s to mid-1990s, involving several lakh punters and dealing with crores of rupees.
Khatri's matka started in the bustling business area of Dhanji Street in Mumbadevi where idlers used to wager on the daily trickle of fluctuating cotton rates from the New York market. Gradually, it became a massive gambling hub.
Based on the requests of his friends, Khatri started his own syndicate and began drawing three cards to decide the day's number. Khatri's betting was considered more genuine as the cards were reportedly opened in the presence of the patron.
During the emergency in India, Khatri was jailed and served 19 months behind bars. He has retired from the gambling business and lives near Tardeo, though he still visits the Mahalaxmi Racecourse to bet on his favorite horses.
