Oklahoma has long been analogous with Bingo. This is because the Native tribes of Oklahoma have run Bingo sessions for generations. Guests from all of the neighboring states get in automobiles and head over to Oklahoma to bet on Bingo over the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act became law after a precedent setting decree by The U.S. Supreme Court just the prior year. Since that time, 23 of the thirty nine American Indian tribes located in Oklahoma have opened gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma Native band to take advantage of the gaming restrictions, and at this time control 10 casinos of their own. Bingo was the game on which these gambling halls were founded. automated games such as slot machine games weren’t allowed, since they’re thought to contribute to gambling addiction at a higher rate than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma rules have changed to allow for big Amerindian betting gambling halls. You will now see Amerindian gambling dens with slot machine games, video poker and chemin de fer tables. Craps and roulette are not yet approved in the American Indian gambling dens as of yet, however that is simply a matter of time. Nobody can authority what having other gambling hall games in the bingo parlours will do for the appeal of bingo.
