Oklahoma has for a long time been synonymous with Bingo. That is due to the fact that the American Indian tribes of Oklahoma have operated Bingo sessions for decades. Clients from each of the surrounding states pile in automobiles and travel to Oklahoma to wager on Bingo for the weekends.
The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act became law after a landmark determination by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year prior. From that time, twenty three of the 39 Amerindian tribes located in Oklahoma have opened gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma Amerindian tribes to take advantage of the betting laws, and at this time operate 10 casinos of their very own. Bingo is the game on which these gambling dens were founded. Electronic games like slots were not approved, due to the fact that they are thought to lead to gambling problems more than bingo.
In the past few years, Oklahoma law have altered to allow for gigantic American Indian betting gambling halls. You will now see Indian gambling dens with one armed bandits, video poker and vingt-et-un tables. Craps and roulette are not yet approved in the American Indian gambling dens yet, but this is simply a matter of time. No one can authority whether having different gambling hall games in the bingo houses will do for the draw of bingo.
