Oklahoma has for a long time been synonymous with Bingo. That’s owing to the fact that the Amerindian bands of Oklahoma have run Bingo games for decades. Patrons from many of the neighboring states pile in trucks and visit Oklahoma to play Bingo over the weekends.

The 1988 IGRA was introduced after a landmark ruling by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year prior. From that instance, twenty three of the 39 Amerindian bands of Oklahoma have introduced gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the initial Oklahoma Indian tribes to take advantage of the gaming rules, and at this time operate ten casinos of their very own. Bingo was the game on which the above-mentioned gambling halls were founded. Electronic games like slot machines weren’t approved, on the grounds that they’re believed to contribute to gambling dependency at a higher rate than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma rules has altered to permit large Amerindian gaming casinos. You’ll now see Indian gambling dens with slots, video poker and 21 tables. Craps and roulette are not allowed in the Amerindian gambling dens as of yet, however that is simply a waiting game. No one can authority whether having different gambling den games in the bingo parlors will do for the appeal of bingo.
