Oklahoma has long been analogous with Bingo. That is because the American Indian tribes of Oklahoma have operated Bingo games for decades. Clients from all of the surrounding states get in autos and head over to Oklahoma to gamble on Bingo for the weekends.

The 1988 IGRA was introduced after a landmark ruling by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year before. Since that time, twenty three of the thirty nine Indian tribes located in Oklahoma have established bingo halls. The Chickasaw were the initial Oklahoma American Indian tribes to take advantage of the wagering rules, and today run 10 gambling halls of their own. Bingo is the game on which the above-mentioned casinos were founded. automated games like slot machines weren’t authorized, on the grounds that they’re thought to lead to gambling problems at a higher rate than bingo.

In the past few years, Oklahoma rules have changed to allow for large Amerindian gaming casinos. You’ll now see American Indian gambling halls with slot machines, video poker and chemin de fer tables. Craps and roulette are not yet legal in the Native gambling halls yet, although that is just a waiting game. Nobody can say with whether having other games in the bingo parlours will do for the appeal of bingo.
