Oklahoma has long been interrelated with Bingo. This is owing to the fact that the Amerindian bands of Oklahoma have operated Bingo games for many years. Guests from many of the surrounding states load up in vans and travel into Oklahoma to play Bingo for the weekends.

The 1988 IGRA was introduced after a landmark determination by The U.S. Supreme Court the year before. From that instance, twenty three of the thirty nine American Indian bands of Oklahoma have established gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the initial Oklahoma Indian band to take advantage of the gaming laws, and at this time operate 10 gambling dens of their own. Bingo is the game on which the above-mentioned gambling dens were founded. Electronic games such as slot machines weren't approved, because they're believed to contribute to gambling dependency at a higher rate than bingo.

In the past few years, Oklahoma law have altered to allow for gigantic Indian wagering gambling dens. You'll now find American Indian gambling halls with slot machines, video poker and vingt-et-un tables. Craps and roulette are not yet legal in the Indian casinos yet, but that is simply a matter of time. Nobody can authority whether having other games in the bingo parlors will do for the appeal of bingo.
