Oklahoma has for a long time been synonymous with Bingo. That’s because the Native bands of Oklahoma have provided Bingo sessions for ages. Clients from each of the surrounding states get in passenger cars and travel into Oklahoma to enjoy Bingo on the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) became law after a landmark determination by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year before. Since that instance, twenty three of the 39 Native bands located in Oklahoma have established gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the initial Oklahoma Native tribes to take advantage of the gaming rules, and at this time control ten gambling halls of their very own. Bingo was the game on which the above-mentioned gambling halls were built on. Electronic games like slots weren’t approved, due to the fact that they are believed to contribute to gambling dependency at a higher rate than bingo.

In the past few years, Oklahoma governing edicts have changed to allow for enormous Indian betting gambling dens. You’ll now see Indian gambling halls with slot machine games, video poker and twenty-one tables. Craps and roulette are not approved in the American Indian casinos yet, although that is just a waiting game. No one can say whether having other games in the bingo houses will do for the appeal of bingo.
