Oklahoma has long been synonymous with Bingo. That’s because the Native tribes of Oklahoma have run Bingo sessions for years. Guests from all of the neighboring states pile in automobiles and visit Oklahoma to gamble on Bingo over the weekends.
The 1988 IGRA was introduced after a benchmark decision by The U.S. Supreme Court the year before. Since that instance, twenty three of the 39 Native bands located in Oklahoma have established bingo halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma Native tribes to take advantage of the gambling laws, and today run 10 casinos of their very own. Bingo is the game on which the above-mentioned gambling halls were founded. Electronic games such as one armed bandits were not allowed, owing to the fact that they’re thought to contribute to gambling dependency more than bingo.
In the past few years, Oklahoma governing edicts have changed to permit large Indian gaming gambling dens. You’ll now see American Indian gambling dens with one armed bandits, video poker and twenty-one tables. Craps and roulette are not approved in the Native gambling dens yet, but that is just a matter of time. No one can authority what having other casino games in the bingo parlours will do for the draw of bingo.
