Oklahoma has long been synonymous with Bingo. That’s due to the fact that the Amerindian tribes of Oklahoma have operated Bingo games for decades. Guests from many of the surrounding states load up in vans and travel into Oklahoma to wager on Bingo on the weekends.

The 1988 (IGRA) Indian Gaming Regulatory Act was introduced after a benchmark decision by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year prior. From that time, 23 of the 39 American Indian tribes of Oklahoma have introduced bingo halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma American Indian band to take advantage of the wagering rules, and at this time operate ten gambling halls of their very own. Bingo is the game on which the above-mentioned casinos were built on. computerized games like slot machines weren’t permitted, on the grounds that they are believed to lead to gambling addiction at a higher rate than bingo.

In the past few years, Oklahoma governing edicts have changed to allow for big Amerindian wagering gambling dens. You will now see Indian gambling dens with one armed bandits, video poker and vingt-et-un tables. Craps and roulette are not approved in the Amerindian gambling halls yet, although this is simply a matter of time. Nobody can authority whether having other games in the bingo parlours will do for the draw of bingo.
