Oklahoma has for a long time been interrelated with Bingo. That is owing to the fact that the Indian tribes of Oklahoma have provided Bingo games for generations. Patrons from each of the nearby states pile in vehicles and visit Oklahoma to bet on Bingo on the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act followed a precedent setting decision by The U.S. Supreme Court just the prior year. From that time, twenty three of the thirty nine Indian bands located in Oklahoma have established gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma Indian tribes to take advantage of the betting laws, and today control 10 casinos of their very own. Bingo is the game on which the above-mentioned gambling halls were built on. Electronic games like slots were not approved, owing to the fact that they are thought to lead to gambling addiction at a higher rate than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma law has altered to allow for gigantic Native gambling gambling dens. You will now see Native gambling dens with slot machines, video poker and 21 tables. Craps and roulette are not yet authorized in the Native gambling halls yet, however this is only a matter of time. Nobody can authority whether having different gambling den games in the bingo parlours will do for the draw of bingo.
