Oklahoma has long been synonymous with Bingo. That’s due to the fact that the Amerindian tribes of Oklahoma have provided Bingo sessions for ages. Patrons from every one of the nearby states pile in cars and head over to Oklahoma to play Bingo for the weekends.
The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) was introduced after a precedent setting decision by The U.S. Supreme Court the year before. From that time, twenty three of the 39 American Indian tribes located in Oklahoma have established gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma Indian tribes to take advantage of the gambling laws, and at this time run ten gambling dens of their own. Bingo is the game on which these gambling halls were founded. Electronic games like one armed bandits weren’t approved, owing to the fact that they’re believed to lead to gambling addiction more than bingo.
In the past few years, Oklahoma law have altered to permit large American Indian wagering gambling halls. You will now see Native gambling halls with slot machines, video poker and chemin de fer tables. Craps and roulette are not yet allowed in the Amerindian casinos as of yet, although this is only a matter of time. Nobody can say whether having other games in the bingo parlors will do for the popularity of bingo.
