Oklahoma has long been synonymous with Bingo. That is due to the fact that the Amerindian bands of Oklahoma have run Bingo games for many years. Guests from each of the neighboring states load up in cars and travel to Oklahoma to bet on Bingo for the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) became law after a precedent setting determination by The U.S. Supreme Court the year prior. From that instance, 23 of the 39 American Indian tribes located in Oklahoma have opened bingo halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma American Indian tribes to take advantage of the betting laws, and at this time run 10 gambling dens of their own. Bingo was the game on which the above-mentioned gambling dens were built on. Electronic games such as slots weren’t approved, on the grounds that they’re believed to contribute to gambling addiction more than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma rules have changed to allow for enormous Native wagering casinos. You’ll now discover American Indian gambling dens with one armed bandits, video poker and twenty-one tables. Craps and roulette are not legal in the American Indian gambling dens yet, although that is only a waiting game. Nobody can determine what having other games in the bingo parlours will do for the draw of bingo.
