Oklahoma has long been analogous with Bingo. That’s owing to the fact that the Amerindian tribes of Oklahoma have provided Bingo games for decades. Patrons from all of the neighboring states load up in passenger cars and head over to Oklahoma to gamble on Bingo on the weekends.

The 1988 (IGRA) Indian Gaming Regulatory Act followed a landmark ruling by The U.S. Supreme Court the year before. From that time, 23 of the thirty nine Indian tribes of Oklahoma have introduced gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma Indian band to take advantage of the betting laws, and today control 10 gambling halls of their own. Bingo is the game on which these gambling halls were built on. Electronic games such as slots weren’t approved, because they’re thought to contribute to gambling dependency at a higher rate than bingo.

In the past few years, Oklahoma governing edicts have changed to allow for gigantic Native betting gambling halls. You will now discover American Indian casinos with slots, video poker and vingt-et-un tables. Craps and roulette are not yet authorized in the Native gambling dens as of yet, although that is only a waiting game. No one can determine whether having other games in the bingo parlors will do for the appeal of bingo.
