Oklahoma has long been interrelated with Bingo. That is due to the fact that the Indian tribes of Oklahoma have provided Bingo games for years. Clients from all of the neighboring states pile in passenger cars and visit Oklahoma to enjoy Bingo on the weekends.

The 1988 IGRA followed a benchmark determination by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year before. Since that time, twenty three of the thirty nine American Indian tribes located in Oklahoma have opened gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma Indian band to take advantage of the gambling rules, and today run ten gambling halls of their very own. Bingo was the game on which the above-mentioned casinos were founded. Electronic games such as slot machines were not approved, due to the fact that they’re thought to contribute to gambling problems at a higher rate than bingo.

In the past few years, Oklahoma governing edicts has changed to permit large Native wagering casinos. You will now see Indian gambling dens with one armed bandits, video poker and vingt-et-un tables. Craps and roulette are still not authorized in the Amerindian gambling dens as of yet, however this is simply a matter of time. Nobody can say with what having different games in the bingo houses will do for the appeal of bingo.
