Oklahoma has long been interrelated with Bingo. This is because the American Indian bands of Oklahoma have operated Bingo sessions for years. Guests from all of the neighboring states get in cars and travel into Oklahoma to gamble on Bingo for the weekends.

The 1988 IGRA followed a benchmark determination by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year prior. Since that instance, 23 of the thirty nine Native bands located in Oklahoma have introduced gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma Indian band to take advantage of the gaming laws, and today run ten casinos of their own. Bingo is the game on which these gambling dens were built on. Electronic games such as slot machine games weren’t authorized, because they’re thought to contribute to gambling addiction more than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma governing edicts have altered to allow for large American Indian wagering casinos. You’ll now discover American Indian casinos with slots, video poker and blackjack tables. Craps and roulette are not authorized in the Indian casinos yet, although that is just a matter of time. No one can say what having different games in the bingo parlours will do for the appeal of bingo.
