Oklahoma has long been interrelated with Bingo. That is because the American Indian bands of Oklahoma have run Bingo sessions for ages. Patrons from every one of the nearby states get in vans and head over to Oklahoma to bet on Bingo over the weekends.
The 1988 IGRA followed a precedent setting decision by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year before. Since that instance, twenty three of the 39 Indian tribes located in Oklahoma have opened gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma American Indian band to take advantage of the gaming laws, and today run 10 gambling dens of their own. Bingo was the game on which the above-mentioned gambling halls were built on. automated games such as slot machines weren’t approved, due to the fact that they are believed to contribute to gambling problems at a higher rate than bingo.
In recent years, Oklahoma rules has changed to permit large American Indian gambling gambling dens. You will now see Indian gambling dens with one armed bandits, video poker and chemin de fer tables. Craps and roulette are not yet authorized in the Amerindian gambling dens yet, but that is only a waiting game. No one can say what having other gambling hall games in the bingo parlours will do for the popularity of bingo.
