Bingo and Oklahoma: Two birds of a feather

by Rogelio on Jun.30, 2019, under Bingo

Oklahoma has for a long time been analogous with Bingo. That is because the Amerindian bands of Oklahoma have provided Bingo sessions for generations. Guests from all of the nearby states get 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 decree by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year prior. From that instance, twenty three of the thirty nine Indian bands of Oklahoma have introduced gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma Indian tribes to take advantage of the betting laws, and today operate 10 gambling halls of their own. Bingo is the game on which these gambling halls were built on. computerized games such as slots were not authorized, because they’re believed to lead to gambling problems more than bingo.

In the past few years, Oklahoma law has altered to allow for massive Native wagering gambling dens. You will now see Indian gambling dens with one armed bandits, video poker and vingt-et-un tables. Craps and roulette are not yet authorized in the Amerindian casinos as of yet, although this is just a waiting game. No one can determine what having other games in the bingo parlors will do for the draw of bingo.
