Oklahoma has for a long time been synonymous with Bingo. That is owing to the fact that the American Indian tribes of Oklahoma have provided Bingo sessions for years. Guests from all of the neighboring states get in automobiles and travel to Oklahoma to bet on Bingo on the weekends.
The 1988 (IGRA) Indian Gaming Regulatory Act became law after a benchmark decree by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year before. Since that time, twenty three of the 39 Native tribes of Oklahoma have introduced gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the initial Oklahoma Amerindian band to take advantage of the gaming restrictions, and at this time control 10 casinos of their very own. Bingo was the game on which these gambling halls were built on. computerized games like one armed bandits weren’t approved, since they’re believed to lead to gambling dependency more than bingo.
In recent years, Oklahoma governing edicts have changed to allow for large American Indian betting gambling dens. You will now find American Indian casinos with one armed bandits, video poker and black jack tables. Craps and roulette are not legal in the Native gambling dens yet, but that is simply a matter of time. No one can say what having other games in the bingo parlours will do for the draw of bingo.
