Oklahoma has for a long time been synonymous with Bingo. This is because the Native bands of Oklahoma have run Bingo games for many years. Clients from each of the surrounding states pile in trucks and travel into Oklahoma to wager on Bingo over the weekends.
The 1988 (IGRA) Indian Gaming Regulatory Act became law after a benchmark determination by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year before. Since that instance, twenty three of the 39 Amerindian bands located in Oklahoma have established gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the initial Oklahoma Amerindian tribes to take advantage of the gaming rules, and at this time control 10 gambling dens of their very own. Bingo is the game on which the above-mentioned gambling halls were built on. computerized games such as slot machine games were not permitted, due to the fact that they are thought to lead to gambling problems more than bingo.
In the past few years, Oklahoma governing edicts have changed to permit big Native gaming gambling dens. You will now find American Indian gambling halls with slot machines, video poker and vingt-et-un tables. Craps and roulette are not authorized in the American Indian gambling halls yet, however that is just a matter of time. No one can say with what having other casino games in the bingo parlors will do for the draw of bingo.
