Oklahoma has long been analogous with Bingo. This is owing to the fact that the Native bands of Oklahoma have run Bingo games for many years. Guests from many of the neighboring states pile in trucks and visit Oklahoma to play Bingo on the weekends.
The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) was introduced after a precedent setting decree by The U.S. Supreme Court just the prior year. Since that instance, 23 of the 39 Amerindian bands of Oklahoma have established gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the initial Oklahoma American Indian band to take advantage of the gambling restrictions, and today run 10 casinos of their own. Bingo is the game on which the above-mentioned gambling halls were founded. Electronic games such as slot machine games were not approved, because they’re believed to contribute to gambling problems more than bingo.
In the past few years, Oklahoma rules has changed to allow for massive Amerindian gaming gambling halls. You’ll now find Indian gambling dens with slot machines, video poker and black jack tables. Craps and roulette are not yet authorized in the Amerindian casinos yet, however this is just a waiting game. Nobody can authority what having other games in the bingo parlors will do for the draw of bingo.
