Oklahoma has for a long time been interrelated with Bingo. That is owing to the fact that the Native tribes of Oklahoma have operated Bingo games for generations. Guests from many of the neighboring states get in passenger cars and head over to Oklahoma to wager on Bingo on the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act became law after a precedent setting determination by The U.S. Supreme Court the year before. Since that time, 23 of the 39 Native tribes of Oklahoma have introduced gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma American Indian tribes to take advantage of the gambling restrictions, and today operate 10 casinos of their own. Bingo is the game on which these casinos were founded. Electronic games like one armed bandits were not allowed, because they’re thought to contribute to gambling dependency more than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma governing edicts has altered to permit large Indian wagering casinos. You’ll now see Native gambling halls with one armed bandits, video poker and black jack tables. Craps and roulette are still not allowed in the Amerindian casinos as of yet, but that is only a matter of time. Nobody can say with whether having different gambling den games in the bingo houses will do for the draw of bingo.
