Bingo and Oklahoma: Two Peas in a Pod

Oklahoma has long been analogous with Bingo. This is due to the fact that the Indian bands of Oklahoma have run Bingo sessions for many years. Clients from many of the surrounding states load up in vehicles and head over to Oklahoma to play Bingo for the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) followed a precedent setting ruling by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year before. From that instance, twenty three of the 39 American Indian bands of Oklahoma have established gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma Amerindian tribes to take advantage of the gambling laws, and at this time control ten gambling halls of their own. Bingo was the game on which the above-mentioned gambling dens were founded. automated games such as slot machine games were not allowed, since they’re believed to contribute to gambling dependency at a higher rate than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma law have altered to permit massive Indian gambling gambling halls. You’ll now find American Indian gambling dens with slot machine games, video poker and black jack tables. Craps and roulette are still not legal in the Amerindian casinos yet, but that is just a matter of time. Nobody can say whether having other games in the bingo parlours will do for the popularity of bingo.
