Oklahoma has for a long time been analogous with Bingo. This is due to the fact that the Amerindian tribes of Oklahoma have provided Bingo sessions for generations. Patrons from all of the neighboring states get in autos and travel into Oklahoma to play Bingo for the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) followed a benchmark ruling by The U.S. Supreme Court the year prior. Since that time, twenty three of the thirty nine Indian tribes located in Oklahoma have opened gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma American Indian tribes to take advantage of the betting restrictions, and today run 10 gambling halls of their own. Bingo was the game on which the above-mentioned gambling dens were built on. digital games like slot machine games weren't allowed, since they're thought to lead to gambling addiction more than bingo.

In the past few years, Oklahoma governing edicts has changed to allow for large Amerindian betting gambling halls. You will now find American Indian gambling halls with slot machines, video poker and 21 tables. Craps and roulette are not allowed in the Native gambling dens yet, however this is just a matter of time. Nobody can say with what having different gambling den games in the bingo parlors will do for the appeal of bingo.
