Oklahoma has for a long time been synonymous with Bingo. That is owing to the fact that the Native bands of Oklahoma have provided Bingo sessions for ages. Guests from each of the neighboring states pile in trucks and head over to Oklahoma to wager on Bingo for the weekends.
The 1988 (IGRA) Indian Gaming Regulatory Act was introduced after a benchmark decision by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year before. From that instance, 23 of the thirty nine American Indian tribes located in Oklahoma have established gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the initial Oklahoma Indian tribes to take advantage of the gaming rules, and today run 10 casinos of their own. Bingo was the game on which these gambling dens were built on. automated games such as one armed bandits were not permitted, on the grounds that they are believed to lead to gambling addiction more than bingo.
In the past few years, Oklahoma rules have changed to permit enormous Amerindian wagering gambling halls. You will now see Amerindian casinos with slot machine games, video poker and 21 tables. Craps and roulette are not legal in the Native casinos as of yet, although that is simply a waiting game. Nobody can authority what having different games in the bingo houses will do for the popularity of bingo.
