Oklahoma has for a long time been synonymous with Bingo. This is because the American Indian tribes of Oklahoma have run Bingo games for decades. Guests from each of the surrounding states get in automobiles and travel into Oklahoma to wager on Bingo over the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act followed a precedent setting decree by The U.S. Supreme Court just the year prior. Since that time, twenty three of the thirty nine Native tribes of Oklahoma have established gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the initial Oklahoma Indian tribes to take advantage of the wagering rules, and today operate ten gambling halls of their own. Bingo was the game on which the above-mentioned gambling dens were built on. computerized games like slot machine games were not authorized, owing to the fact that they are believed to lead to gambling addiction at a higher rate than bingo.

In the past few years, Oklahoma rules have changed to permit big Indian betting casinos. You will now discover Native gambling halls with slots, video poker and twenty-one tables. Craps and roulette are not yet legal in the Native gambling dens yet, although this is just a waiting game. No one can say what having other gambling hall games in the bingo parlors will do for the draw of bingo.
