Oklahoma has long been interrelated with Bingo. That’s due to the fact that the Native bands of Oklahoma have operated Bingo games for decades. Guests from many of the nearby states get in vans and head over to Oklahoma to bet on Bingo over the weekends.

The 1988 (IGRA) Indian Gaming Regulatory Act became law after a precedent setting decision by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year before. From that time, 23 of the 39 Indian bands of Oklahoma have established bingo halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma Amerindian band to take advantage of the gambling rules, and today run 10 gambling halls of their very own. Bingo is the game on which the above-mentioned gambling halls were built on. digital games such as slot machine games weren’t permitted, on the grounds that they are thought to lead to gambling addiction more than bingo.

In the past few years, Oklahoma law has altered to allow for large Amerindian wagering gambling halls. You will now see Indian gambling halls with slots, video poker and twenty-one tables. Craps and roulette are not yet authorized in the Native casinos as of yet, although this is just a matter of time. Nobody can determine what having different games in the bingo parlours will do for the popularity of bingo.
