Oklahoma has long been interrelated with Bingo. That is because the Indian tribes of Oklahoma have run Bingo games for decades. Patrons from each of the surrounding states get in automobiles and head over to Oklahoma to enjoy Bingo over the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) followed a precedent setting ruling by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year before. From that time, twenty three of the 39 Native bands of Oklahoma have introduced gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the initial Oklahoma Indian band to take advantage of the gambling laws, and today run 10 gambling dens of their own. Bingo was the game on which the above-mentioned gambling dens were built on. digital games such as slots were not permitted, due to the fact that they're thought to contribute to gambling problems at a higher rate than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma law have altered to allow for massive Amerindian betting gambling halls. You will now find American Indian casinos with slots, video poker and 21 tables. Craps and roulette are not yet allowed in the Indian casinos as of yet, although that is simply a waiting game. No one can determine what having other casino games in the bingo parlors will do for the popularity of bingo.
