Oklahoma has long been synonymous with Bingo. That’s owing to the fact that the Amerindian tribes of Oklahoma have provided Bingo games for generations. Patrons from every one of the nearby states load up in trucks and head over to Oklahoma to enjoy Bingo on the weekends.

The 1988 IGRA followed a benchmark decree by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year prior. Since that time, 23 of the thirty nine Indian bands of Oklahoma have opened gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the initial Oklahoma Indian band to take advantage of the gaming laws, and at this time run 10 casinos of their own. Bingo is the game on which the above-mentioned gambling halls were founded. automated games like slot machines weren’t approved, because they are thought to lead to gambling problems more than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma law have altered to allow for massive American Indian gambling casinos. You will now see Native casinos with slot machines, video poker and vingt-et-un tables. Craps and roulette are not yet allowed in the Indian casinos as of yet, although this is simply a matter of time. Nobody can say with what having other games in the bingo parlors will do for the popularity of bingo.
