Oklahoma has long been synonymous with Bingo. That’s due to the fact that the Amerindian bands of Oklahoma have operated Bingo sessions for generations. Clients from all of the surrounding states pile in vans and travel into Oklahoma to bet on Bingo over the weekends.

The 1988 (IGRA) Indian Gaming Regulatory Act followed a landmark ruling by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year before. From that time, twenty three of the 39 Amerindian tribes located in Oklahoma have established gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the initial Oklahoma American Indian band to take advantage of the gambling laws, and at this time control 10 casinos of their very own. Bingo was the game on which these gambling halls were built on. automated games like slot machines weren’t approved, on the grounds that they’re believed to lead to gambling problems at a higher rate than bingo.

In the past few years, Oklahoma governing edicts has altered to allow for gigantic Amerindian betting casinos. You’ll now discover American Indian gambling dens with slots, video poker and black jack tables. Craps and roulette are not legal in the American Indian gambling dens as of yet, but that is just a matter of time. Nobody can say whether having different gambling hall games in the bingo parlors will do for the popularity of bingo.
