Oklahoma has long been analogous with Bingo. That’s due to the fact that the Native bands of Oklahoma have run Bingo sessions for ages. Patrons from every one of the neighboring states load up in vans and travel to Oklahoma to wager on Bingo on the weekends.

The 1988 IGRA became law after a landmark decree by The U.S. Supreme Court the year before. From that time, 23 of the 39 American Indian bands of Oklahoma have introduced bingo halls. The Chickasaw were the initial Oklahoma American Indian tribes to take advantage of the wagering laws, and today run 10 gambling dens of their own. Bingo was the game on which the above-mentioned casinos were built on. Electronic games such as one armed bandits were not authorized, since they are believed to contribute to gambling addiction more than bingo.

In the past few years, Oklahoma rules has changed to permit gigantic Indian gambling gambling halls. You will now see Native gambling dens with slots, video poker and 21 tables. Craps and roulette are not yet authorized in the American Indian gambling dens as of yet, however this is only a matter of time. No one can say with whether having different gambling den games in the bingo parlours will do for the appeal of bingo.
