Oklahoma has long been interrelated with Bingo. This is owing to the fact that the Native tribes of Oklahoma have operated Bingo sessions for generations. Guests from every one of the surrounding states load up in trucks and travel into Oklahoma to enjoy Bingo for the weekends.
The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) was introduced after a landmark decree by The U.S. Supreme Court just the prior year. Since that time, twenty three of the thirty nine American Indian bands of Oklahoma have established bingo halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma Amerindian band to take advantage of the wagering rules, and today operate ten gambling dens of their own. Bingo is the game on which these gambling dens were founded. Electronic games like slot machines were not allowed, on the grounds that they’re thought to lead to gambling problems more than bingo.
In recent years, Oklahoma rules has altered to permit large Native gambling gambling dens. You’ll now find American Indian gambling dens with one armed bandits, video poker and black jack tables. Craps and roulette are still not legal in the Native casinos yet, although that is just a waiting game. Nobody can determine whether having different games in the bingo houses will do for the appeal of bingo.
