Oklahoma has long been synonymous with Bingo. That's owing to the fact that the American Indian tribes of Oklahoma have provided Bingo sessions for years. Patrons from every one of the nearby states pile in trucks and travel to Oklahoma to enjoy Bingo on the weekends.

The 1988 (IGRA) Indian Gaming Regulatory Act followed a landmark decree by The U.S. Supreme Court the year prior. From that time, twenty three of the thirty nine Native bands located in Oklahoma have opened gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma Indian band to take advantage of the betting restrictions, and at this time operate 10 casinos of their own. Bingo was the game on which the above-mentioned casinos were founded. digital games like one armed bandits were not approved, because they're thought to contribute to gambling addiction at a higher rate than bingo.

In the past few years, Oklahoma law has changed to allow for massive Indian betting casinos. You will now find Indian gambling halls with slot machine games, video poker and vingt-et-un tables. Craps and roulette are not yet authorized in the American Indian casinos yet, however that is just a matter of time. No one can say with what having other games in the bingo parlors will do for the draw of bingo.
