Bingo and Oklahoma: 2 birds of a feather

Oklahoma has long been analogous with Bingo. That is because the Indian bands of Oklahoma have operated Bingo sessions for many years. Clients from many of the surrounding states pile in passenger cars and travel to Oklahoma to bet on Bingo for the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act followed a landmark decision by The U.S. Supreme Court just the prior year. From that time, 23 of the 39 Native tribes of Oklahoma have opened bingo halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma Indian band to take advantage of the betting rules, and today run ten casinos of their very own. Bingo was the game on which these gambling dens were built on. digital games like slots were not permitted, on the grounds that they’re believed to contribute to gambling dependency at a higher rate than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma law has altered to allow for enormous Native wagering gambling halls. You will now find Indian gambling dens with slot machines, video poker and vingt-et-un tables. Craps and roulette are still not legal in the Indian gambling halls yet, but this is just a waiting game. No one can say whether having other games in the bingo parlors will do for the appeal of bingo.
