Oklahoma has for a long time been analogous with Bingo. That’s because the American Indian bands of Oklahoma have run Bingo sessions for decades. Guests from many of the surrounding states load up in cars and head over to Oklahoma to enjoy Bingo over the weekends.

The 1988 (IGRA) Indian Gaming Regulatory Act followed a precedent setting decision by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year before. Since that instance, twenty three of the thirty nine Amerindian tribes located in Oklahoma have opened gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma Amerindian tribes to take advantage of the gaming restrictions, and today operate ten casinos of their very own. Bingo is the game on which these casinos were founded. Electronic games like slot machine games were not approved, since they’re believed to contribute to gambling addiction more than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma rules has altered to allow for massive Indian gambling gambling halls. You will now discover Indian gambling dens with slot machines, video poker and chemin de fer tables. Craps and roulette are still not authorized in the Native casinos as of yet, however this is simply a waiting game. Nobody can say what having other games in the bingo houses will do for the popularity of bingo.
