Welcome to the exciting world of Shillong Teer! If you’re new to this unique game and wondering what all the buzz is about, you’ve come to the right place. This beginner’s guide will walk you through everything you need to know: from what Teer actually is, to how you can play, and where to find the results.

What is Shillong Teer?

Shillong Teer is not your typical lottery. It is a traditional archery-based betting game that takes place in Meghalaya, India. It’s deeply rooted in the local culture and is legally operated by the Archery Association. Every day except Sundays and holidays, skilled archers shoot arrows at a target. The winning number is derived from the total number of arrows that hit the target, making it a thrilling game of skill and chance.

Shillong Teer Schedule & Timing

Knowing the timing is crucial. The game happens every day, with two rounds:

  • Betting Counters Open: Morning until early afternoon.
  • First Round (FR): Begins at 3:45 PM IST. Approximately 50 archers shoot 50 arrows.
  • Second Round (SR): Begins at 4:45 PM IST. Approximately 20 archers shoot 20 arrows.
  • Result Declaration: The results for each round are declared shortly after the round concludes, usually by 5:15 PM IST.

How to Play Shillong Teer: The Betting Process

You can’t play online. To place a bet, you must visit an authorized Teer counter in Meghalaya (like in Shillong or Jowai) before the rounds begin. You tell the counter operator your chosen number and the type of bet you want to place.

Types of Bets in Shillong Teer

Understanding the bet types is the most important part of learning how to play Shillong Teer. Here are the most common ones:

  • Direct / Straight (2D Number): You bet on a specific two-digit number (e.g., 89). If that exact number is the result, you win. This has the highest payout.
  • House / Ending (1D Number): You bet on the last digit of the winning two-digit number. For example, if you bet on House 9 and the result is 49 or 89, you win. The payout is lower but the odds are better.
  • First Round (FR) Bet: You bet on the outcome of only the first round.
  • Second Round (SR) Bet: You bet on the outcome of only the second round.

How are the Results Calculated?

The winning number isn’t chosen randomly. It’s based on the archery:

  • After each round, officials count the total number of arrows that hit the target.
  • That total is then converted into a two-digit number. For example, if 645 arrows hit the target, the winning number is 45 (the last two digits).
  • This process ensures the game’s fairness and transparency.
