Bingo in Oklahoma

[ English ]

Oklahoma has for a long time been interrelated with Bingo. That’s because the American Indian tribes of Oklahoma have provided Bingo games for ages. Guests from each of the surrounding states get in autos and head over to Oklahoma to play Bingo on the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) was introduced after a precedent setting decree by The U.S. Supreme Court the year prior. From that time, twenty three of the 39 Amerindian bands of Oklahoma have established gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma Amerindian band to take advantage of the gambling rules, and today operate 10 casinos of their very own. Bingo was the game on which these gambling halls were founded. computerized games like one armed bandits weren’t permitted, on the grounds that they’re believed to contribute to gambling addiction more than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma rules has altered to allow for large Native gaming gambling halls. You’ll now see Indian gambling dens with slots, video poker and blackjack tables. Craps and roulette are not legal in the Indian gambling halls yet, however that is only a matter of time. Nobody can say what having other casino games in the bingo parlours will do for the draw of bingo.
