Oklahoma has long been interrelated with Bingo. That's because the Native tribes of Oklahoma have provided Bingo sessions for years. Guests from each of the surrounding states pile in trucks and head over to Oklahoma to gamble on Bingo over the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) followed a benchmark ruling by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year before. From that time, 23 of the 39 American Indian tribes of Oklahoma have opened gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma American Indian band to take advantage of the gaming laws, and today control ten gambling halls of their very own. Bingo was the game on which the above-mentioned gambling dens were founded. computerized games such as slot machine games weren't authorized, owing to the fact that they are believed to contribute to gambling problems more than bingo.

In the past few years, Oklahoma law have changed to allow for enormous Native gaming gambling halls. You'll now find American Indian gambling halls with slot machines, video poker and chemin de fer tables. Craps and roulette are not allowed in the Native casinos yet, although this is only a matter of time. No one can say with whether having other gambling den games in the bingo parlours will do for the popularity of bingo.
