Oklahoma has for a long time been synonymous with Bingo. That’s owing to the fact that the Amerindian bands of Oklahoma have run Bingo games for many years. Patrons from all of the nearby states pile in cars and travel to Oklahoma to bet on Bingo over the weekends.

The 1988 (IGRA) Indian Gaming Regulatory Act was introduced after a benchmark decree by The U.S. Supreme Court the year prior. Since that time, twenty three of the thirty nine American Indian tribes located in Oklahoma have established bingo halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma Amerindian band to take advantage of the wagering laws, and at this time run ten gambling dens of their own. Bingo is the game on which these gambling halls were founded. automated games like slot machine games weren’t authorized, since they’re thought to contribute to gambling dependency at a higher rate than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma governing edicts has altered to allow for gigantic Native wagering gambling dens. You’ll now find Indian gambling dens with slot machines, video poker and vingt-et-un tables. Craps and roulette are not authorized in the Indian gambling halls yet, but this is only a waiting game. No one can determine what having different games in the bingo parlors will do for the appeal of bingo.
