Oklahoma has for a long time been interrelated with Bingo. This is because the Native tribes of Oklahoma have run Bingo sessions for generations. Guests from all of the surrounding states get in automobiles and head over to Oklahoma to enjoy Bingo for the weekends.

The 1988 IGRA was introduced after a landmark ruling by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year before. From that time, twenty three of the thirty nine American Indian bands of Oklahoma have opened gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma Amerindian tribes to take advantage of the betting restrictions, and today run ten gambling dens of their very own. Bingo is the game on which these gambling halls were founded. automated games like one armed bandits were not authorized, because they're thought to lead to gambling addiction at a higher rate than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma law has altered to permit big Indian wagering gambling dens. You will now find American Indian casinos with slot machines, video poker and black jack tables. Craps and roulette are not allowed in the Indian casinos yet, although this is only a matter of time. Nobody can say whether having different gambling hall games in the bingo parlours will do for the appeal of bingo.
