Oklahoma has for a long time been synonymous with Bingo. That is owing to the fact that the American Indian bands of Oklahoma have provided Bingo games for ages. Guests from all of the neighboring states load up in cars and head over to Oklahoma to gamble on Bingo on the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act became law after a benchmark decision by The U.S. Supreme Court the year prior. From that instance, twenty three of the 39 Amerindian tribes of Oklahoma have introduced bingo halls. The Chickasaw were the initial Oklahoma Native tribes to take advantage of the gaming restrictions, and at this time control 10 casinos of their own. Bingo is the game on which these gambling dens were founded. Electronic games such as slots weren't permitted, on the grounds that they are thought to lead to gambling dependency at a higher rate than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma law has altered to allow for gigantic American Indian betting gambling dens. You'll now find Indian gambling halls with slots, video poker and chemin de fer tables. Craps and roulette are still not approved in the Indian gambling halls yet, although that is simply a waiting game. Nobody can say with whether having other games in the bingo parlours will do for the draw of bingo.
