Oklahoma has for a long time been synonymous with Bingo. This is due to the fact that the American Indian bands of Oklahoma have provided Bingo games for decades. Guests from every one of the nearby states get in cars and travel into Oklahoma to play Bingo over the weekends.

The 1988 IGRA became law after a precedent setting decision by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year prior. Since that instance, twenty three of the thirty nine Amerindian bands of Oklahoma have opened gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma Native band to take advantage of the gambling restrictions, and today control 10 casinos of their very own. Bingo is the game on which these gambling halls were founded. Electronic games such as one armed bandits were not permitted, because they’re thought to contribute to gambling addiction more than bingo.

In the past few years, Oklahoma governing edicts have changed to allow for enormous American Indian gambling casinos. You will now discover Amerindian gambling dens with slot machines, video poker and chemin de fer tables. Craps and roulette are not yet legal in the Native casinos as of yet, but this is simply a waiting game. No one can say with what having other games in the bingo parlours will do for the appeal of bingo.
