Oklahoma has long been analogous with Bingo. That’s owing to the fact that the Amerindian tribes of Oklahoma have operated Bingo games for years. Guests from every one of the surrounding states get in trucks and travel into Oklahoma to gamble on Bingo over the weekends.
The 1988 (IGRA) Indian Gaming Regulatory Act was introduced after a landmark decision by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year before. Since that instance, 23 of the 39 American Indian tribes located in Oklahoma have established gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma Indian band to take advantage of the gambling restrictions, and at this time control 10 gambling halls of their own. Bingo is the game on which these gambling halls were founded. automated games such as slot machines weren’t authorized, since they are thought to lead to gambling addiction more than bingo.
In the past few years, Oklahoma rules has altered to allow for massive American Indian gaming gambling halls. You’ll now see Native gambling dens with one armed bandits, video poker and twenty-one tables. Craps and roulette are not legal in the Amerindian casinos yet, although this is only a waiting game. No one can say with whether having other games in the bingo parlours will do for the draw of bingo.
