Bingo in Oklahoma


[ English ]

Oklahoma has for a long time been analogous with Bingo. That is because the American Indian tribes of Oklahoma have run Bingo sessions for generations. Clients from all of the surrounding states load up in automobiles and travel into Oklahoma to play Bingo on the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act followed a benchmark decree by The U.S. Supreme Court the year before. From that time, twenty three of the thirty nine American Indian tribes of Oklahoma have established gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma Amerindian tribes to take advantage of the wagering laws, and at this time run 10 gambling dens of their very own. Bingo is the game on which the above-mentioned gambling halls were founded. automated games like slot machine games weren’t permitted, because they are thought to contribute to gambling problems at a higher rate than bingo.

In the past few years, Oklahoma governing edicts have changed to allow for large Native wagering gambling dens. You’ll now discover Indian gambling dens with slots, video poker and black jack tables. Craps and roulette are still not legal in the Amerindian gambling halls yet, but this is just a matter of time. Nobody can determine whether having other games in the bingo parlours will do for the appeal of bingo.
