Oklahoma has long been synonymous with Bingo. This is due to the fact that the Indian bands of Oklahoma have run Bingo games for decades. Clients from many of the surrounding states get in vans and travel into Oklahoma to play Bingo on the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) became law after a landmark decree by The U.S. Supreme Court the year prior. From that instance, twenty three of the thirty nine Native tribes of Oklahoma have opened gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma Native tribes to take advantage of the wagering laws, and today control ten gambling dens of their own. Bingo was the game on which the above-mentioned casinos were founded. automated games like one armed bandits were not allowed, due to the fact that they’re thought to contribute to gambling problems at a higher rate than bingo.

In the past few years, Oklahoma governing edicts have altered to permit big American Indian wagering gambling halls. You will now see Amerindian gambling halls with one armed bandits, video poker and chemin de fer tables. Craps and roulette are not legal in the Amerindian casinos yet, but this is only a matter of time. No one can authority what having different gambling hall games in the bingo parlors will do for the appeal of bingo.
