Oklahoma has long been analogous with Bingo. This is because the Indian tribes of Oklahoma have operated Bingo sessions for generations. Patrons from each of the neighboring states load up in vans and travel into Oklahoma to play Bingo over the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) became law after a benchmark decision by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year before. Since that instance, 23 of the thirty nine American Indian tribes of Oklahoma have established gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the initial Oklahoma American Indian tribes to take advantage of the gambling restrictions, and at this time control ten gambling dens of their own. Bingo is the game on which the above-mentioned gambling dens were built on. automated games like slot machines weren’t approved, owing to the fact that they’re believed to lead to gambling problems at a higher rate than bingo.

In the past few years, Oklahoma governing edicts has changed to allow for large Indian gambling gambling dens. You’ll now see Native gambling dens with slots, video poker and black jack tables. Craps and roulette are not legal in the Native gambling dens yet, but that is just a matter of time. Nobody can say with whether having other games in the bingo parlors will do for the appeal of bingo.
