Oklahoma has long been analogous with Bingo. That’s owing to the fact that the Indian bands of Oklahoma have provided Bingo games for generations. Patrons from every one of the surrounding states pile in vans and visit Oklahoma to bet on Bingo for the weekends.
The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) became law after a precedent setting decision by The U.S. Supreme Court the year prior. Since that time, twenty three of the thirty nine Native tribes of Oklahoma have opened gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma American Indian band to take advantage of the gambling rules, and at this time run 10 gambling dens of their very own. Bingo is the game on which these gambling halls were built on. automated games such as slot machine games were not permitted, owing to the fact that they are thought to contribute to gambling dependency at a higher rate than bingo.
In recent years, Oklahoma law has changed to allow for gigantic Amerindian wagering gambling dens. You will now see Native gambling halls with slot machines, video poker and 21 tables. Craps and roulette are not yet allowed in the Native gambling dens as of yet, although that is simply a matter of time. No one can say with whether having other gambling hall games in the bingo parlours will do for the draw of bingo.
