Oklahoma has long been analogous with Bingo. That is owing to the fact that the American Indian bands of Oklahoma have run Bingo games for generations. Guests from many of the surrounding states pile in vehicles and head over to Oklahoma to gamble on Bingo over the weekends.

The 1988 (IGRA) Indian Gaming Regulatory Act became law after a landmark determination by The U.S. Supreme Court the year before. From that time, 23 of the thirty nine American Indian bands located in Oklahoma have opened gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma Native tribes to take advantage of the gaming laws, and today control 10 casinos of their very own. Bingo is the game on which these gambling dens were built on. computerized games such as slot machine games weren’t permitted, due to the fact that they are thought to contribute to gambling problems at a higher rate than bingo.

In the past few years, Oklahoma rules have changed to permit large Indian gaming casinos. You will now find Amerindian casinos with slot machine games, video poker and black jack tables. Craps and roulette are not allowed in the American Indian gambling dens as of yet, however this is only a waiting game. Nobody can say with whether having other games in the bingo houses will do for the popularity of bingo.
