Oklahoma has for a long time been synonymous with Bingo. That’s due to the fact that the Native tribes of Oklahoma have run Bingo games for years. Patrons from all of the neighboring states pile in passenger cars and head over to Oklahoma to enjoy Bingo over the weekends.
The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act followed a benchmark ruling by The U.S. Supreme Court the year prior. Since that time, 23 of the thirty nine American Indian bands located in Oklahoma have opened gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma Amerindian band to take advantage of the wagering restrictions, and today control ten gambling halls of their own. Bingo was the game on which these gambling dens were founded. automated games like one armed bandits were not allowed, because they’re thought to contribute to gambling problems more than bingo.
In the past few years, Oklahoma governing edicts has changed to allow for massive Native gaming gambling dens. You’ll now discover Amerindian gambling halls with one armed bandits, video poker and twenty-one tables. Craps and roulette are still not approved in the Amerindian gambling halls as of yet, however this is only a waiting game. No one can authority whether having different casino games in the bingo parlours will do for the draw of bingo.
