Oklahoma has long been interrelated with Bingo. This is owing to the fact that the Amerindian bands of Oklahoma have operated Bingo games for ages. Guests from all of the surrounding states pile in vehicles and visit Oklahoma to wager on Bingo on the weekends.

The 1988 (IGRA) Indian Gaming Regulatory Act became law after a precedent setting decree by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year before. Since that time, twenty three of the 39 American Indian bands located in Oklahoma have opened bingo halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma American Indian tribes to take advantage of the gaming restrictions, and today control ten casinos of their very own. Bingo was the game on which these casinos were founded. digital games such as one armed bandits were not allowed, because they are believed to contribute to gambling addiction at a higher rate than bingo.

In the past few years, Oklahoma governing edicts has changed to permit big Indian gaming gambling halls. You will now discover American Indian casinos with one armed bandits, video poker and blackjack tables. Craps and roulette are still not legal in the Amerindian casinos yet, although this is simply a waiting game. Nobody can determine what having other games in the bingo parlours will do for the appeal of bingo.
