Oklahoma has long been interrelated with Bingo. That is because the Native bands of Oklahoma have provided Bingo sessions for many years. Guests from each of the nearby states pile in autos and travel to Oklahoma to gamble on Bingo on the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) became law after a precedent setting ruling by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year before. From that time, twenty three of the 39 Amerindian bands of Oklahoma have opened gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the initial Oklahoma American Indian tribes to take advantage of the wagering rules, and today run ten gambling dens of their very own. Bingo is the game on which these gambling dens were built on. Electronic games such as slot machines weren’t authorized, because they are believed to contribute to gambling addiction more than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma rules has changed to permit enormous Native betting gambling dens. You’ll now find Indian gambling dens with one armed bandits, video poker and 21 tables. Craps and roulette are not allowed in the Indian casinos yet, but that is simply a matter of time. No one can authority whether having different games in the bingo parlors will do for the appeal of bingo.
