Oklahoma has long been analogous with Bingo. This is due to the fact that the Indian tribes of Oklahoma have run Bingo games for generations. Guests from many of the nearby states load up in passenger cars and travel into Oklahoma to bet on Bingo for the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) followed a landmark determination by The U.S. Supreme Court the year before. From that instance, 23 of the thirty nine Amerindian tribes of Oklahoma have introduced gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma American Indian band to take advantage of the gambling laws, and today run 10 gambling dens of their own. Bingo was the game on which the above-mentioned gambling dens were founded. automated games like one armed bandits were not approved, since they are believed to lead to gambling addiction more than bingo.

In the past few years, Oklahoma rules has changed to permit big American Indian gaming gambling halls. You’ll now see Indian gambling halls with slot machine games, video poker and twenty-one tables. Craps and roulette are not yet legal in the Amerindian gambling halls as of yet, however that is only a matter of time. Nobody can say whether having different games in the bingo parlors will do for the draw of bingo.
