Oklahoma has for a long time been interrelated with Bingo. This is owing to the fact that the Native tribes of Oklahoma have operated Bingo sessions for years. Clients from all of the neighboring states load up in vehicles and travel to Oklahoma to play Bingo over the weekends.

The 1988 IGRA was introduced after a benchmark decree by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year prior. Since that time, 23 of the 39 Amerindian bands located in Oklahoma have established gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma Indian band to take advantage of the wagering laws, and at this time run ten gambling halls of their own. Bingo is the game on which the above-mentioned gambling halls were built on. automated games such as slot machine games were not approved, because they are thought to contribute to gambling addiction at a higher rate than bingo.

In the past few years, Oklahoma rules has changed to allow for large Indian gambling gambling dens. You will now find Amerindian gambling dens with slots, video poker and chemin de fer tables. Craps and roulette are still not approved in the Amerindian gambling dens yet, but that is simply a waiting game. Nobody can say whether having other casino games in the bingo houses will do for the appeal of bingo.
