- a tabellone with squares containing all numbers from 1 to 90; - numbered cards, each one containing blank squares and 15 squares containing random numbers, arranged in tree rows, each containing five numbers; this cards are bought by the players - 90 wooden or plastic"tombolini" with numbers from 1 to 90, which are kept in a container (usually a cloth sack). Fix a price for each card (ex. 1 dollar). The players buy the cards, and one of the players buys the "cartellone . The money is divided into five prizes, from lowest to highest, with tombola being the jackpot:

• the "ambo", two numbers on the same row
• the "terno", three numbers on the same row
• the "quaterna", four numbers on the same row
• the "cinquina", five numbers on the same row
• the "tombola", all numbers on the card

Then the one who has the cartellone takes the numbers out of the sack, one at a time, calling them loudly, and placing them on their box in the cartellone, and leaving time to the players to mark the number on their card. For more color each number has also a nickname, either local or from the "Smorfia" napoletana - 77 is for ex. the "gambe delle vecchie (legs of old women)".
