Oklahoma has for a long time been interrelated with Bingo. That’s because the Amerindian bands of Oklahoma have provided Bingo games for years. Guests from all of the nearby states load up in vans and travel to Oklahoma to enjoy Bingo for the weekends.
The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act was introduced after a benchmark determination by The U.S. Supreme Court the year before. From that instance, 23 of the 39 American Indian bands of Oklahoma have opened gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma American Indian tribes to take advantage of the betting restrictions, and today operate 10 gambling halls of their own. Bingo is the game on which these casinos were founded. automated games such as one armed bandits were not allowed, because they’re believed to lead to gambling problems at a higher rate than bingo.
In recent years, Oklahoma governing edicts have altered to permit large American Indian wagering gambling dens. You’ll now find American Indian gambling dens with slot machine games, video poker and chemin de fer tables. Craps and roulette are not approved in the Native gambling halls yet, although that is only a waiting game. Nobody can say with whether having other games in the bingo parlors will do for the popularity of bingo.
