Oklahoma has for a long time been analogous with Bingo. This is owing to the fact that the Native bands of Oklahoma have run Bingo games for many years. Patrons from each of the surrounding states load up in passenger cars and visit Oklahoma to wager on Bingo on the weekends.

The 1988 (IGRA) Indian Gaming Regulatory Act was introduced after a benchmark ruling by The U.S. Supreme Court the year prior. Since that instance, twenty three of the 39 Native bands of Oklahoma have opened gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma Indian band to take advantage of the gambling restrictions, and today control 10 casinos of their very own. Bingo is the game on which the above-mentioned gambling halls were built on. computerized games like slot machine games were not authorized, on the grounds that they're thought to contribute to gambling addiction more than bingo.

In the past few years, Oklahoma rules have altered to allow for big American Indian gambling casinos. You'll now see Indian casinos with slots, video poker and 21 tables. Craps and roulette are not yet allowed in the American Indian gambling halls yet, although that is just a waiting game. Nobody can say what having other gambling hall games in the bingo parlors will do for the appeal of bingo.
