Oklahoma has long been synonymous with Bingo. That is because the American Indian tribes of Oklahoma have operated Bingo sessions for generations. Guests from many of the nearby states load up in vans and head over to Oklahoma to enjoy Bingo for the weekends.
The 1988 (IGRA) Indian Gaming Regulatory Act was introduced after a benchmark decree by The U.S. Supreme Court the year before. Since that time, 23 of the thirty nine Native bands located in Oklahoma have opened gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the initial Oklahoma Indian tribes to take advantage of the wagering restrictions, and today control ten gambling dens of their very own. Bingo is the game on which these gambling dens were built on. Electronic games like slot machines were not allowed, on the grounds that they’re thought to contribute to gambling addiction at a higher rate than bingo.
In recent years, Oklahoma governing edicts has changed to permit gigantic Native betting gambling halls. You’ll now discover Indian casinos with slot machine games, video poker and blackjack tables. Craps and roulette are not approved in the American Indian gambling halls yet, however that is just a matter of time. Nobody can determine whether having different casino games in the bingo houses will do for the draw of bingo.
