Oklahoma has for a long time been interrelated with Bingo. This is because the Indian tribes of Oklahoma have run Bingo sessions for many years. Clients from all of the neighboring states pile in cars and travel to Oklahoma to enjoy Bingo over the weekends.
The 1988 IGRA became law after a benchmark ruling by The U.S. Supreme Court the year prior. From that time, twenty three of the 39 Native bands located in Oklahoma have established bingo halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma American Indian tribes to take advantage of the gaming laws, and at this time operate 10 gambling halls of their very own. Bingo is the game on which the above-mentioned gambling dens were built on. Electronic games such as slot machines were not permitted, owing to the fact that they are thought to lead to gambling addiction at a higher rate than bingo.
In recent years, Oklahoma rules have changed to allow for massive American Indian gaming gambling halls. You’ll now find Amerindian gambling dens with slot machines, video poker and 21 tables. Craps and roulette are not allowed in the Amerindian casinos yet, however this is just a waiting game. No one can determine whether having different casino games in the bingo parlors will do for the draw of bingo.
