Oklahoma has long been interrelated with Bingo. That is owing to the fact that the Native bands of Oklahoma have provided Bingo sessions for many years. Patrons from every one of the neighboring states pile in passenger cars and visit Oklahoma to play Bingo for the weekends.
The 1988 (IGRA) Indian Gaming Regulatory Act became law after a landmark decree by The U.S. Supreme Court the year before. Since that instance, twenty three of the thirty nine Native tribes located in Oklahoma have introduced gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma Native band to take advantage of the betting rules, and today run ten casinos of their own. Bingo is the game on which the above-mentioned gambling halls were built on. Electronic games such as slot machine games weren’t approved, since they are believed to contribute to gambling addiction more than bingo.
In the past few years, Oklahoma rules has altered to permit gigantic American Indian gambling gambling halls. You’ll now find American Indian gambling dens with slots, video poker and twenty-one tables. Craps and roulette are not yet allowed in the Amerindian gambling dens yet, although that is only a waiting game. No one can determine whether having different games in the bingo parlours will do for the appeal of bingo.
