Oklahoma has long been interrelated with Bingo. That is because the American Indian bands of Oklahoma have provided Bingo games for decades. Patrons from each of the nearby states get in trucks and visit Oklahoma to play Bingo over the weekends.
The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act became law after a precedent setting decision by The U.S. Supreme Court the year prior. Since that time, 23 of the 39 Indian bands of Oklahoma have established gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma Amerindian band to take advantage of the betting rules, and at this time run ten gambling halls of their very own. Bingo is the game on which the above-mentioned casinos were founded. digital games like slot machine games were not allowed, because they’re thought to lead to gambling problems at a higher rate than bingo.
In the past few years, Oklahoma rules has altered to allow for big Amerindian betting casinos. You’ll now see Amerindian gambling halls with slot machines, video poker and vingt-et-un tables. Craps and roulette are not yet allowed in the Native gambling halls yet, however that is simply a waiting game. Nobody can say what having other gambling hall games in the bingo parlours will do for the appeal of bingo.
