Oklahoma has long been synonymous with Bingo. That’s owing to the fact that the Native bands of Oklahoma have provided Bingo sessions for years. Clients from each of the neighboring states get in automobiles and head over to Oklahoma to gamble on Bingo on the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act became law after a landmark decree by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year before. Since that instance, 23 of the thirty nine American Indian bands located in Oklahoma have established gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma Amerindian band to take advantage of the betting laws, and today control 10 gambling halls of their own. Bingo was the game on which the above-mentioned casinos were built on. computerized games such as slot machine games were not authorized, since they’re thought to contribute to gambling dependency more than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma rules have changed to allow for enormous Native gambling gambling halls. You’ll now discover American Indian casinos with slot machines, video poker and blackjack tables. Craps and roulette are still not legal in the Native gambling dens yet, although that is only a matter of time. No one can determine what having other gambling den games in the bingo houses will do for the draw of bingo.
