Oklahoma has long been interrelated with Bingo. That’s due to the fact that the Indian bands of Oklahoma have run Bingo games for decades. Clients from each of the nearby states get in passenger cars and travel into Oklahoma to bet on Bingo over the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) followed a precedent setting decree by The U.S. Supreme Court the year prior. Since that instance, 23 of the thirty nine Native bands of Oklahoma have opened gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma Indian band to take advantage of the betting restrictions, and today control ten gambling halls of their very own. Bingo is the game on which these gambling halls were built on. computerized games such as slot machine games were not allowed, since they are thought to lead to gambling addiction more than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma governing edicts have changed to permit massive Indian betting casinos. You’ll now see American Indian gambling dens with slot machines, video poker and blackjack tables. Craps and roulette are not yet legal in the Amerindian gambling dens yet, however this is only a matter of time. No one can authority whether having different games in the bingo parlours will do for the popularity of bingo.
