Oklahoma has long been synonymous with Bingo. That’s due to the fact that the American Indian bands of Oklahoma have provided Bingo games for many years. Patrons from every one of the nearby states pile in trucks and head over to Oklahoma to wager on Bingo over the weekends.
The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) was introduced after a landmark determination by The U.S. Supreme Court just the prior year. From that time, twenty three of the thirty nine American Indian tribes located in Oklahoma have opened gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the initial Oklahoma Indian tribes to take advantage of the betting laws, and today control 10 gambling halls of their very own. Bingo is the game on which the above-mentioned casinos were founded. Electronic games like slot machine games weren’t approved, because they are thought to contribute to gambling dependency more than bingo.
In the past few years, Oklahoma law has changed to permit big Native betting casinos. You will now find American Indian casinos with slot machines, video poker and twenty-one tables. Craps and roulette are still not allowed in the American Indian gambling halls yet, however this is simply a matter of time. No one can say whether having different gambling hall games in the bingo parlours will do for the draw of bingo.
