Oklahoma has long been synonymous with Bingo. That’s due to the fact that the Amerindian bands of Oklahoma have run Bingo sessions for ages. Guests from all of the surrounding states get in cars and visit Oklahoma to play Bingo on the weekends.
The 1988 IGRA was introduced after a precedent setting ruling by The U.S. Supreme Court the year before. Since that instance, 23 of the thirty nine Indian tribes located in Oklahoma have established bingo halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma Indian tribes to take advantage of the gaming rules, and at this time run ten casinos of their own. Bingo was the game on which these gambling halls were built on. digital games such as one armed bandits were not allowed, due to the fact that they are believed to lead to gambling dependency at a higher rate than bingo.
In recent years, Oklahoma rules have changed to allow for gigantic American Indian betting casinos. You will now discover Indian gambling dens with one armed bandits, video poker and blackjack tables. Craps and roulette are not allowed in the Indian gambling halls yet, but that is just a matter of time. Nobody can say whether having other games in the bingo parlors will do for the popularity of bingo.
