Oklahoma has long been analogous with Bingo. That’s due to the fact that the American Indian tribes of Oklahoma have provided Bingo games for years. Clients from many of the surrounding states load up in vehicles and visit Oklahoma to gamble on Bingo for the weekends.
The 1988 (IGRA) Indian Gaming Regulatory Act became law after a precedent setting decision by The U.S. Supreme Court the year prior. Since that time, twenty three of the thirty nine Native bands located in Oklahoma have established gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma Amerindian tribes to take advantage of the gaming rules, and at this time run 10 gambling halls of their very own. Bingo was the game on which the above-mentioned gambling halls were founded. automated games like slot machine games weren’t allowed, since they are believed to contribute to gambling dependency more than bingo.
In recent years, Oklahoma governing edicts have changed to permit massive Amerindian gaming gambling dens. You’ll now find American Indian casinos with one armed bandits, video poker and black jack tables. Craps and roulette are not yet approved in the Amerindian gambling dens as of yet, but this is just a matter of time. Nobody can say what having other gambling hall games in the bingo parlors will do for the popularity of bingo.
