Oklahoma has long been interrelated with Bingo. That is because the American Indian bands of Oklahoma have provided Bingo sessions for years. Patrons from each of the nearby states pile in passenger cars and travel into Oklahoma to enjoy Bingo on the weekends.
The 1988 IGRA was introduced after a precedent setting determination by The U.S. Supreme Court the year prior. Since that instance, 23 of the 39 Indian bands located in Oklahoma have established gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma Amerindian band to take advantage of the betting laws, and today run 10 gambling dens of their very own. Bingo was the game on which the above-mentioned gambling halls were built on. Electronic games like slot machines weren’t permitted, on the grounds that they’re believed to lead to gambling dependency at a higher rate than bingo.
In recent years, Oklahoma rules has altered to permit large Native betting gambling dens. You’ll now see Amerindian casinos with slots, video poker and chemin de fer tables. Craps and roulette are not yet authorized in the Native gambling halls as of yet, but this is only a matter of time. No one can say with what having other gambling den games in the bingo parlours will do for the appeal of bingo.
