Oklahoma Bingo

Oklahoma has long been synonymous with Bingo. That’s owing to the fact that the American Indian bands of Oklahoma have run Bingo sessions for generations. Patrons from each of the surrounding states load up in vehicles and travel to Oklahoma to enjoy Bingo on the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) became law after a landmark determination by The U.S. Supreme Court just the prior year. Since that time, 23 of the thirty nine Native bands of Oklahoma have opened gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma Indian tribes to take advantage of the betting laws, and at this time operate 10 gambling halls of their own. Bingo was the game on which the above-mentioned gambling dens were founded. digital games such as slots were not allowed, because they are believed to lead to gambling addiction at a higher rate than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma governing edicts have altered to allow for enormous Amerindian gambling gambling dens. You’ll now find Native casinos with one armed bandits, video poker and vingt-et-un tables. Craps and roulette are still not authorized in the Amerindian casinos yet, however this is simply a waiting game. No one can say with whether having different gambling hall games in the bingo houses will do for the popularity of bingo.
