Oklahoma has long been analogous with Bingo. This is owing to the fact that the Indian tribes of Oklahoma have run Bingo games for many years. Guests from all of the surrounding states load up in vans and travel into Oklahoma to gamble on Bingo for the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act was introduced after a landmark decision by The U.S. Supreme Court the year prior. From that instance, 23 of the 39 Indian bands of Oklahoma have introduced gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma Amerindian band to take advantage of the gaming laws, and at this time run ten gambling dens of their own. Bingo is the game on which the above-mentioned gambling dens were founded. Electronic games like slots were not authorized, owing to the fact that they’re believed to contribute to gambling addiction more than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma governing edicts have altered to permit enormous Native gaming casinos. You’ll now discover American Indian gambling dens with slots, video poker and vingt-et-un tables. Craps and roulette are still not legal in the Indian casinos as of yet, but that is simply a matter of time. Nobody can determine what having different games in the bingo parlours will do for the draw of bingo.
