Oklahoma has long been synonymous with Bingo. That’s because the Amerindian bands of Oklahoma have run Bingo sessions for ages. Patrons from every one of the nearby states load up in vehicles and head over to Oklahoma to enjoy Bingo on the weekends.
The 1988 (IGRA) Indian Gaming Regulatory Act was introduced after a landmark decree by The U.S. Supreme Court the year before. Since that instance, twenty three of the thirty nine American Indian bands located in Oklahoma have introduced gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma Indian tribes to take advantage of the gaming rules, and today control ten gambling dens of their very own. Bingo was the game on which the above-mentioned casinos were founded. computerized games such as slot machine games were not approved, because they are thought to lead to gambling problems at a higher rate than bingo.
In recent years, Oklahoma governing edicts has changed to allow for large Native wagering gambling dens. You will now see Native gambling halls with slot machine games, video poker and vingt-et-un tables. Craps and roulette are still not authorized in the Native casinos yet, however that is only a waiting game. No one can determine whether having other casino games in the bingo parlours will do for the draw of bingo.
