Oklahoma has for a long time been interrelated with Bingo. This is owing to the fact that the Native bands of Oklahoma have operated Bingo sessions for decades. Guests from every one of the neighboring states load up in autos and travel to Oklahoma to bet on Bingo for the weekends.
The 1988 (IGRA) Indian Gaming Regulatory Act followed a precedent setting decision by The U.S. Supreme Court the year prior. Since that instance, 23 of the 39 Indian tribes located in Oklahoma have opened bingo halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma Amerindian tribes to take advantage of the betting restrictions, and at this time control 10 gambling halls of their own. Bingo is the game on which the above-mentioned casinos were built on. automated games like one armed bandits were not allowed, because they’re thought to lead to gambling problems more than bingo.
In the past few years, Oklahoma law have changed to allow for enormous Native wagering casinos. You’ll now see Amerindian casinos with one armed bandits, video poker and blackjack tables. Craps and roulette are not yet allowed in the Native gambling halls as of yet, however that is only a waiting game. No one can say whether having other games in the bingo houses will do for the appeal of bingo.
