Oklahoma has long been interrelated with Bingo. That is owing to the fact that the Indian bands of Oklahoma have operated Bingo sessions for many years. Guests from each of the nearby states pile in cars and travel into Oklahoma to bet on Bingo on the weekends.

The 1988 (IGRA) Indian Gaming Regulatory Act followed a benchmark determination by The U.S. Supreme Court the year prior. Since that time, 23 of the thirty nine Indian bands of Oklahoma have introduced bingo halls. The Chickasaw were the initial Oklahoma American Indian tribes to take advantage of the betting laws, and today operate 10 casinos of their own. Bingo was the game on which the above-mentioned casinos were founded. Electronic games like slot machines weren’t approved, due to the fact that they are thought to lead to gambling dependency more than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma governing edicts have changed to permit large American Indian gambling gambling halls. You’ll now find Amerindian gambling halls with one armed bandits, video poker and chemin de fer tables. Craps and roulette are not yet allowed in the American Indian gambling halls as of yet, however that is only a matter of time. No one can determine whether having different casino games in the bingo parlours will do for the popularity of bingo.
