Oklahoma has long been interrelated with Bingo. That is due to the fact that the Native tribes of Oklahoma have run Bingo sessions for many years. Patrons from every one of the nearby states load up in trucks and travel to Oklahoma to enjoy Bingo over the weekends.

The 1988 IGRA followed a landmark decree by The U.S. Supreme Court the year before. From that time, 23 of the 39 Amerindian bands located in Oklahoma have opened gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma American Indian band to take advantage of the gaming rules, and today run 10 gambling halls of their very own. Bingo was the game on which the above-mentioned gambling dens were built on. automated games such as one armed bandits were not authorized, since they are thought to lead to gambling addiction more than bingo.

In the past few years, Oklahoma rules has changed to allow for gigantic Native gambling casinos. You will now see Indian gambling halls with slot machines, video poker and black jack tables. Craps and roulette are not yet allowed in the Amerindian gambling halls yet, although that is just a matter of time. No one can determine what having other games in the bingo parlors will do for the appeal of bingo.
