Oklahoma has long been synonymous with Bingo. This is because the Native bands of Oklahoma have operated Bingo games for decades. Guests from all of the neighboring states pile in passenger cars and head over to Oklahoma to enjoy Bingo over the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) followed a benchmark decision by The U.S. Supreme Court the year before. Since that instance, 23 of the 39 Indian tribes of Oklahoma have opened gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the initial Oklahoma Native tribes to take advantage of the gambling restrictions, and at this time control ten casinos of their own. Bingo was the game on which the above-mentioned gambling dens were founded. computerized games like slot machines weren’t authorized, since they are thought to contribute to gambling addiction more than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma law has altered to permit massive Indian gambling gambling halls. You will now find American Indian gambling dens with slot machines, video poker and chemin de fer tables. Craps and roulette are still not approved in the Amerindian gambling halls as of yet, however that is simply a waiting game. No one can authority whether having different casino games in the bingo parlours will do for the appeal of bingo.
