Oklahoma has for a long time been synonymous with Bingo. That’s due to the fact that the Amerindian bands of Oklahoma have provided Bingo sessions for generations. Clients from every one of the surrounding states get in cars and travel into Oklahoma to play Bingo on the weekends.
The 1988 IGRA became law after a precedent setting decision by The U.S. Supreme Court the year prior. Since that instance, 23 of the thirty nine American Indian bands of Oklahoma have opened bingo halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma Amerindian band to take advantage of the wagering rules, and today control 10 casinos of their very own. Bingo is the game on which these casinos were founded. digital games like slots were not allowed, because they are thought to contribute to gambling addiction at a higher rate than bingo.
In the past few years, Oklahoma law has changed to permit massive Indian gambling casinos. You will now see Native gambling dens with one armed bandits, video poker and vingt-et-un tables. Craps and roulette are not yet approved in the Amerindian casinos as of yet, however that is simply a matter of time. No one can say with whether having different games in the bingo houses will do for the popularity of bingo.
