Oklahoma has long been interrelated with Bingo. That is because the Native tribes of Oklahoma have operated Bingo games for many years. Patrons from each of the nearby states load up in vans and travel to Oklahoma to play Bingo over the weekends.

The 1988 IGRA was introduced after a precedent setting decree by The U.S. Supreme Court the year before. From that instance, twenty three of the 39 Native bands of Oklahoma have opened gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the initial Oklahoma Native band to take advantage of the gambling restrictions, and at this time control ten gambling halls of their own. Bingo is the game on which the above-mentioned gambling halls were founded. digital games like slot machines weren’t permitted, on the grounds that they are thought to contribute to gambling problems at a higher rate than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma rules has changed to allow for gigantic American Indian gambling gambling halls. You’ll now see American Indian casinos with slots, video poker and chemin de fer tables. Craps and roulette are not yet allowed in the Amerindian gambling dens yet, however this is only a waiting game. No one can say with what having other games in the bingo houses will do for the popularity of bingo.
