Oklahoma has long been synonymous with Bingo. That’s because the American Indian tribes of Oklahoma have provided Bingo games for ages. Clients from all of the neighboring states get in autos and travel to Oklahoma to bet on Bingo on the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) was introduced after a benchmark ruling by The U.S. Supreme Court the year prior. From that instance, twenty three of the thirty nine Indian bands located in Oklahoma have established gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma Amerindian tribes to take advantage of the gambling rules, and at this time control 10 gambling halls of their very own. Bingo is the game on which these gambling halls were founded. computerized games such as slot machine games were not allowed, since they are thought to lead to gambling problems more than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma governing edicts have altered to permit massive Indian betting gambling halls. You’ll now see Amerindian gambling halls with one armed bandits, video poker and blackjack tables. Craps and roulette are not yet allowed in the Native gambling dens as of yet, however this is only a matter of time. No one can determine what having different games in the bingo parlors will do for the draw of bingo.
