Oklahoma has long been interrelated with Bingo. That’s owing to the fact that the Native tribes of Oklahoma have run Bingo games for decades. Guests from all of the neighboring states get in trucks and visit Oklahoma to wager on Bingo over the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) was introduced after a precedent setting determination by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year before. From that time, 23 of the 39 Indian tribes of Oklahoma have opened bingo halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma Native tribes to take advantage of the betting rules, and today run 10 gambling halls of their very own. Bingo was the game on which the above-mentioned gambling dens were built on. Electronic games like slot machine games weren’t authorized, on the grounds that they’re thought to contribute to gambling problems at a higher rate than bingo.
