Oklahoma has for a long time been interrelated with Bingo. That is because the Amerindian bands of Oklahoma have run Bingo sessions for ages. Guests from many of the neighboring states pile in vehicles and head over to Oklahoma to enjoy Bingo for the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) followed a landmark decree by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year before. From that instance, 23 of the 39 Native bands of Oklahoma have established gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the initial Oklahoma American Indian tribes to take advantage of the wagering rules, and at this time operate ten gambling dens of their own. Bingo was the game on which the above-mentioned casinos were built on. computerized games like slot machine games were not permitted, owing to the fact that they are thought to lead to gambling dependency at a higher rate than bingo.

In the past few years, Oklahoma governing edicts have altered to permit big American Indian wagering casinos. You will now see Indian gambling dens with one armed bandits, video poker and 21 tables. Craps and roulette are not yet allowed in the Native casinos as of yet, however that is only a waiting game. No one can authority whether having different casino games in the bingo parlours will do for the appeal of bingo.
