Oklahoma has long been analogous with Bingo. That is owing to the fact that the Amerindian bands of Oklahoma have run Bingo sessions for decades. Guests from many of the nearby states pile in passenger cars and travel into Oklahoma to enjoy Bingo for the weekends.
The 1988 (IGRA) Indian Gaming Regulatory Act followed a landmark decree by The U.S. Supreme Court the year before. Since that time, twenty three of the 39 Native tribes of Oklahoma have introduced gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma American Indian band to take advantage of the gaming rules, and today run 10 gambling dens of their own. Bingo is the game on which these casinos were built on. automated games such as one armed bandits weren’t authorized, since they are thought to lead to gambling problems at a higher rate than bingo.
In recent years, Oklahoma rules has altered to allow for big Indian wagering gambling halls. You’ll now find Native gambling dens with one armed bandits, video poker and 21 tables. Craps and roulette are not approved in the American Indian gambling dens as of yet, but that is simply a matter of time. No one can say what having other casino games in the bingo parlors will do for the popularity of bingo.
