Oklahoma has long been analogous with Bingo. That is because the Native tribes of Oklahoma have provided Bingo sessions for ages. Patrons from many of the neighboring states pile in autos and visit Oklahoma to play Bingo on the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) was introduced after a landmark determination by The U.S. Supreme Court the year before. Since that instance, twenty three of the 39 American Indian bands located in Oklahoma have opened bingo halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma Native band to take advantage of the gaming laws, and today operate 10 casinos of their very own. Bingo is the game on which the above-mentioned gambling dens were founded. computerized games like one armed bandits weren’t permitted, since they are thought to lead to gambling problems more than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma rules have altered to allow for large American Indian gambling gambling dens. You’ll now discover Indian casinos with slots, video poker and blackjack tables. Craps and roulette are not allowed in the American Indian gambling halls as of yet, however this is only a waiting game. No one can authority whether having other gambling den games in the bingo parlors will do for the appeal of bingo.
