Oklahoma Bingo


[ English ]

Oklahoma has for a long time been analogous with Bingo. This is because the American Indian tribes of Oklahoma have operated Bingo games for decades. Guests from all of the surrounding states load up in vans and travel into Oklahoma to wager on Bingo on the weekends.

The 1988 IGRA became law after a precedent setting decision by The U.S. Supreme Court the year before. From that time, 23 of the 39 Amerindian tribes of Oklahoma have opened gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the initial Oklahoma American Indian band to take advantage of the gaming laws, and at this time run ten casinos of their own. Bingo was the game on which the above-mentioned casinos were founded. automated games such as one armed bandits weren’t approved, because they’re believed to contribute to gambling problems more than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma governing edicts has altered to permit massive Amerindian gambling gambling halls. You’ll now discover Native casinos with slots, video poker and 21 tables. Craps and roulette are still not authorized in the Amerindian casinos as of yet, but this is just a matter of time. No one can determine what having other gambling hall games in the bingo parlors will do for the draw of bingo.
