Oklahoma has for a long time been synonymous with Bingo. This is due to the fact that the American Indian tribes of Oklahoma have operated Bingo games for years. Guests from many of the surrounding states load up in automobiles and travel to Oklahoma to wager on Bingo for the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) became law after a precedent setting determination by The U.S. Supreme Court just the prior year. Since that time, twenty three of the 39 Native tribes located in Oklahoma have introduced bingo halls. The Chickasaw were the initial Oklahoma Indian band to take advantage of the wagering rules, and today control 10 gambling halls of their very own. Bingo is the game on which the above-mentioned gambling dens were founded. computerized games such as one armed bandits were not approved, since they're believed to contribute to gambling problems at a higher rate than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma governing edicts has altered to permit massive Indian betting gambling dens. You'll now find American Indian casinos with slot machines, video poker and vingt-et-un tables. Craps and roulette are not yet legal in the American Indian casinos as of yet, although that is just a matter of time. Nobody can say what having different gambling hall games in the bingo parlours will do for the draw of bingo.
