Oklahoma has long been synonymous with Bingo. That is because the Amerindian bands of Oklahoma have run Bingo sessions for ages. Patrons from many of the surrounding states pile in trucks and travel into Oklahoma to gamble on Bingo for the weekends.

The 1988 IGRA was introduced after a landmark decision by The U.S. Supreme Court the year prior. From that time, 23 of the 39 Native bands located in Oklahoma have established gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma American Indian tribes to take advantage of the gaming laws, and at this time operate 10 gambling halls of their very own. Bingo was the game on which these gambling halls were built on. digital games like one armed bandits weren’t allowed, on the grounds that they are believed to lead to gambling problems at a higher rate than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma law has changed to permit large Amerindian wagering gambling dens. You’ll now see Native gambling dens with slot machine games, video poker and black jack tables. Craps and roulette are not yet legal in the Native casinos as of yet, but this is simply a matter of time. No one can say with whether having other games in the bingo parlours will do for the draw of bingo.
