Oklahoma has long been analogous with Bingo. That is owing to the fact that the Amerindian bands of Oklahoma have operated Bingo sessions for generations. Patrons from every one of the surrounding states get in vans and travel to Oklahoma to enjoy Bingo on the weekends.
The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) became law after a precedent setting decision by The U.S. Supreme Court the year before. Since that time, 23 of the 39 Amerindian bands of Oklahoma have established bingo halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma Amerindian band to take advantage of the gaming rules, and today control ten gambling dens of their own. Bingo is the game on which the above-mentioned gambling dens were founded. Electronic games like one armed bandits were not authorized, since they are thought to contribute to gambling dependency at a higher rate than bingo.
In recent years, Oklahoma governing edicts have altered to allow for large Native betting casinos. You’ll now discover American Indian gambling dens with slots, video poker and 21 tables. Craps and roulette are still not allowed in the Indian gambling dens yet, although this is just a waiting game. No one can say with what having other games in the bingo parlours will do for the appeal of bingo.
