Oklahoma has for a long time been synonymous with Bingo. That is owing to the fact that the Native bands of Oklahoma have run Bingo games for ages. Clients from all of the neighboring states pile in passenger cars and visit Oklahoma to bet on Bingo over the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act became law after a precedent setting ruling by The U.S. Supreme Court the year before. Since that time, twenty three of the 39 American Indian bands located in Oklahoma have introduced gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the 1st Oklahoma Amerindian band to take advantage of the gaming restrictions, and at this time operate ten casinos of their own. Bingo was the game on which the above-mentioned gambling dens were built on. computerized games such as slot machines were not approved, because they are believed to lead to gambling dependency at a higher rate than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma governing edicts has changed to permit gigantic American Indian wagering gambling dens. You will now find Indian gambling halls with slots, video poker and chemin de fer tables. Craps and roulette are still not approved in the Amerindian gambling dens yet, however this is simply a waiting game. No one can say what having other games in the bingo houses will do for the appeal of bingo.
