Oklahoma has for a long time been interrelated with Bingo. That is because the Amerindian tribes of Oklahoma have provided Bingo games for decades. Guests from each of the surrounding states pile in autos and travel to Oklahoma to gamble on Bingo for the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) followed a landmark ruling by The U.S. Supreme Court just the prior year. From that instance, 23 of the thirty nine Native bands located in Oklahoma have established gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma Native tribes to take advantage of the gaming restrictions, and today run ten gambling halls of their very own. Bingo is the game on which these casinos were founded. computerized games such as slots were not allowed, owing to the fact that they are believed to contribute to gambling addiction more than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma law has changed to permit massive Native gaming gambling dens. You’ll now discover Amerindian casinos with one armed bandits, video poker and blackjack tables. Craps and roulette are not yet allowed in the Native gambling halls as of yet, but this is only a matter of time. No one can say what having other games in the bingo houses will do for the draw of bingo.
