Bingo and Oklahoma: Two birds of a feather

Oklahoma has long been analogous with Bingo. That’s because the Amerindian tribes of Oklahoma have operated Bingo sessions for decades. Clients from every one of the neighboring states load up in passenger cars and travel into Oklahoma to play Bingo over the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) was introduced after a landmark decision by The U.S. Supreme Court the year before. Since that instance, twenty three of the 39 Native bands located in Oklahoma have introduced gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma Indian tribes to take advantage of the wagering laws, and at this time control ten gambling dens of their very own. Bingo was the game on which the above-mentioned casinos were built on. automated games like slot machines weren’t permitted, because they are thought to lead to gambling addiction at a higher rate than bingo.

In the past few years, Oklahoma law has altered to allow for big Amerindian gambling casinos. You will now find American Indian gambling halls with slot machines, video poker and black jack tables. Craps and roulette are not authorized in the Indian gambling dens as of yet, although this is simply a matter of time. No one can authority whether having other casino games in the bingo houses will do for the draw of bingo.
