Oklahoma has long been synonymous with Bingo. This is due to the fact that the Indian tribes of Oklahoma have run Bingo games for many years. Patrons from each of the neighboring states load up in passenger cars and travel into Oklahoma to gamble on Bingo over the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act followed a benchmark decree by The U.S. Supreme Court the year before. Since that time, twenty three of the 39 Native tribes of Oklahoma have established bingo halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma Amerindian band to take advantage of the betting rules, and at this time control ten gambling dens of their very own. Bingo was the game on which these casinos were built on. digital games such as one armed bandits were not allowed, on the grounds that they are believed to contribute to gambling dependency at a higher rate than bingo.

In the past few years, Oklahoma law have altered to permit gigantic Native wagering gambling halls. You will now see Amerindian gambling dens with slots, video poker and black jack tables. Craps and roulette are not yet allowed in the Indian casinos yet, although that is only a matter of time. Nobody can determine what having different gambling den games in the bingo parlors will do for the appeal of bingo.
