Oklahoma has for a long time been interrelated with Bingo. This is owing to the fact that the Indian tribes of Oklahoma have operated Bingo sessions for many years. Guests from many of the surrounding states load up in automobiles and visit Oklahoma to play Bingo for the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act became law after a precedent setting decision by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year prior. Since that instance, 23 of the thirty nine American Indian bands of Oklahoma have introduced bingo halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma Native tribes to take advantage of the gaming rules, and today operate 10 gambling dens of their very own. Bingo was the game on which these gambling halls were founded. computerized games like slot machine games weren’t authorized, due to the fact that they’re thought to lead to gambling dependency more than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma law have altered to allow for gigantic Native gaming casinos. You will now find Amerindian casinos with slot machine games, video poker and 21 tables. Craps and roulette are not legal in the Amerindian casinos yet, although this is just a waiting game. No one can determine what having other games in the bingo parlors will do for the appeal of bingo.
