Oklahoma has for a long time been synonymous with Bingo. This is due to the fact that the Native bands of Oklahoma have provided Bingo sessions for ages. Guests from every one of the surrounding states get in autos and visit Oklahoma to gamble on Bingo for the weekends.

The 1988 (IGRA) Indian Gaming Regulatory Act became law after a benchmark determination by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year before. From that instance, 23 of the thirty nine Native bands located in Oklahoma have established gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma American Indian tribes to take advantage of the betting rules, and today operate ten gambling halls of their own. Bingo was the game on which these casinos were founded. computerized games such as slot machine games weren’t permitted, owing to the fact that they are believed to lead to gambling problems at a higher rate than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma rules have changed to permit big Amerindian gaming gambling halls. You will now find Amerindian casinos with one armed bandits, video poker and black jack tables. Craps and roulette are not allowed in the Amerindian gambling dens yet, however that is simply a matter of time. No one can determine whether having other gambling hall games in the bingo parlours will do for the appeal of bingo.
