Oklahoma has long been synonymous with Bingo. This is due to the fact that the Amerindian bands of Oklahoma have run Bingo games for years. Guests from each of the neighboring states load up in autos and head over to Oklahoma to bet on Bingo for the weekends.

The 1988 (IGRA) Indian Gaming Regulatory Act was introduced after a precedent setting determination by The U.S. Supreme Court the year prior. From that time, twenty three of the thirty nine American Indian bands of Oklahoma have established bingo halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma Indian tribes to take advantage of the gambling laws, and today control ten casinos of their own. Bingo was the game on which the above-mentioned gambling halls were built on. computerized games like slot machines weren’t allowed, since they’re believed to contribute to gambling dependency more than bingo.

In the past few years, Oklahoma rules has changed to allow for big American Indian gambling gambling halls. You’ll now find American Indian gambling dens with one armed bandits, video poker and blackjack tables. Craps and roulette are still not allowed in the Amerindian gambling dens as of yet, however that is just a matter of time. Nobody can say what having different gambling hall games in the bingo parlors will do for the draw of bingo.
