Oklahoma has long been synonymous with Bingo. That’s due to the fact that the Native tribes of Oklahoma have operated Bingo sessions for years. Guests from all of the neighboring states load up in cars and travel to Oklahoma to enjoy Bingo over the weekends.

The 1988 (IGRA) Indian Gaming Regulatory Act became law after a precedent setting ruling by The U.S. Supreme Court just the prior year. From that instance, 23 of the thirty nine Amerindian tribes located in Oklahoma have established gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma Native tribes to take advantage of the gambling rules, and today operate ten casinos of their own. Bingo was the game on which the above-mentioned gambling halls were founded. Electronic games like slots weren’t allowed, since they are believed to contribute to gambling problems at a higher rate than bingo.

In the past few years, Oklahoma governing edicts have altered to allow for gigantic Native gambling gambling dens. You will now discover Indian gambling halls with slot machine games, video poker and twenty-one tables. Craps and roulette are not allowed in the Native casinos as of yet, however this is just a matter of time. Nobody can authority what having different casino games in the bingo parlors will do for the appeal of bingo.
