Oklahoma has long been analogous with Bingo. That is due to the fact that the Indian tribes of Oklahoma have operated Bingo games for years. Guests from many of the surrounding states load up in vans and visit Oklahoma to bet on Bingo over the weekends.

The 1988 IGRA became law after a benchmark decision by The U.S. Supreme Court just the prior year. Since that instance, 23 of the thirty nine Indian tribes located in Oklahoma have opened gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma Amerindian band to take advantage of the gaming laws, and at this time control 10 casinos of their very own. Bingo was the game on which these casinos were built on. Electronic games such as one armed bandits weren’t authorized, on the grounds that they are believed to contribute to gambling dependency at a higher rate than bingo.

In the past few years, Oklahoma rules has changed to permit big Native gambling gambling halls. You’ll now find American Indian casinos with slots, video poker and black jack tables. Craps and roulette are still not approved in the Indian gambling halls yet, however that is just a matter of time. Nobody can say what having different casino games in the bingo parlours will do for the popularity of bingo.
