Oklahoma has long been interrelated with Bingo. That is due to the fact that the American Indian bands of Oklahoma have provided Bingo games for decades. Clients from all of the nearby states load up in vans and travel to Oklahoma to wager on Bingo on the weekends.
The 1988 (IGRA) Indian Gaming Regulatory Act became law after a landmark decree by The U.S. Supreme Court just the prior year. Since that time, 23 of the thirty nine Amerindian bands of Oklahoma have introduced gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the initial Oklahoma Native band to take advantage of the betting rules, and at this time operate ten gambling halls of their own. Bingo is the game on which the above-mentioned gambling halls were built on. Electronic games such as slot machine games were not allowed, due to the fact that they are believed to lead to gambling dependency at a higher rate than bingo.
In the past few years, Oklahoma rules have changed to permit gigantic Indian betting casinos. You will now discover Amerindian gambling dens with slots, video poker and twenty-one tables. Craps and roulette are still not allowed in the Native casinos as of yet, although this is simply a matter of time. No one can say whether having other games in the bingo parlours will do for the draw of bingo.
