Oklahoma has for a long time been interrelated with Bingo. This is due to the fact that the Amerindian bands of Oklahoma have run Bingo games for many years. Patrons from every one of the neighboring states pile in cars and travel to 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 just the year prior. Since that time, 23 of the 39 Indian bands of Oklahoma have established gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma Indian tribes to take advantage of the gaming rules, and today control ten gambling dens of their very own. Bingo was the game on which the above-mentioned casinos were founded. automated games such as slot machines weren’t allowed, due to the fact that they’re thought to contribute to gambling problems at a higher rate than bingo.
In recent years, Oklahoma rules has altered to permit massive Native betting gambling dens. You’ll now find Indian gambling dens with slots, video poker and 21 tables. Craps and roulette are still not approved in the Native gambling dens yet, however that is simply a matter of time. No one can say with what having other games in the bingo houses will do for the popularity of bingo.
