Oklahoma has for a long time been synonymous with Bingo. That is due to the fact that the Amerindian bands of Oklahoma have operated Bingo games for ages. Clients from each of the neighboring states get in automobiles and travel to Oklahoma to bet on Bingo for the weekends.
The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) became law after a landmark decision by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year before. Since that time, twenty three of the thirty nine American Indian bands located in Oklahoma have established gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma Amerindian tribes to take advantage of the gambling rules, and today run ten gambling dens of their own. Bingo is the game on which these gambling dens were founded. computerized games such as slots were not approved, because they’re thought to contribute to gambling dependency more than bingo.
In recent years, Oklahoma rules has changed to permit big Indian wagering gambling dens. You will now see Indian gambling halls with slot machine games, video poker and 21 tables. Craps and roulette are still not authorized in the American Indian gambling dens yet, but that is simply a waiting game. Nobody can say whether having different casino games in the bingo parlours will do for the popularity of bingo.
