Oklahoma has for a long time been interrelated with Bingo. This is due to the fact that the American Indian bands of Oklahoma have run Bingo sessions for many years. Guests from all of the neighboring states load up in cars and travel into Oklahoma to play Bingo over the weekends.
The 1988 (IGRA) Indian Gaming Regulatory Act followed a benchmark decree by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year prior. From that time, 23 of the 39 Indian tribes of Oklahoma have introduced bingo halls. The Chickasaw were the initial Oklahoma American Indian tribes to take advantage of the gambling restrictions, and at this time operate 10 casinos of their very own. Bingo is the game on which the above-mentioned casinos were built on. Electronic games such as slot machine games were not allowed, owing to the fact that they are thought to lead to gambling dependency at a higher rate than bingo.
In the past few years, Oklahoma governing edicts have changed to permit massive Native betting casinos. You will now see American Indian casinos with slot machines, video poker and twenty-one tables. Craps and roulette are not allowed in the Amerindian gambling halls as of yet, but that is only a matter of time. Nobody can determine what having different casino games in the bingo houses will do for the popularity of bingo.
