Oklahoma has long been interrelated with Bingo. That is due to the fact that the Native tribes of Oklahoma have operated Bingo games for years. Guests from every one of the nearby states get in vans and head over to Oklahoma to play Bingo for the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act became law after a benchmark decision by The U.S. Supreme Court the year before. Since that time, 23 of the thirty nine Indian tribes located in Oklahoma have established gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma Native band to take advantage of the gambling restrictions, and at this time run 10 gambling dens of their very own. Bingo is the game on which these gambling dens were built on. automated games such as slots weren’t allowed, since they are thought to contribute to gambling addiction at a higher rate than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma law has changed to allow for gigantic Amerindian gaming gambling dens. You will now find Native gambling dens 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 that is only a waiting game. No one can authority whether having different casino games in the bingo parlors will do for the draw of bingo.
