Oklahoma has long been synonymous with Bingo. That’s due to the fact that the Native tribes of Oklahoma have operated Bingo games for decades. Patrons from all of the surrounding states load up in automobiles and head over to Oklahoma to wager on Bingo on the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act became law after a precedent setting decision by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year prior. From that time, twenty three of the thirty nine Native tribes located in Oklahoma have established gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma Native tribes to take advantage of the betting laws, and today control 10 casinos of their own. Bingo is the game on which the above-mentioned casinos were founded. Electronic games such as one armed bandits were not authorized, owing to the fact that they’re thought to contribute to gambling problems more than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma governing edicts has changed to allow for gigantic Indian gambling gambling halls. You will now find Indian gambling dens with one armed bandits, video poker and 21 tables. Craps and roulette are not allowed in the Indian gambling halls as of yet, but this is just a waiting game. No one can say what having different games in the bingo houses will do for the appeal of bingo.
