Oklahoma Bingo
Oklahoma has long been interrelated with Bingo. That is because the Indian bands of Oklahoma have run Bingo games for ages. Patrons from all of the neighboring states get in trucks and visit Oklahoma to enjoy Bingo over the weekends.
The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act became law after a precedent setting decision by The U.S. Supreme Court the year prior. Since that time, twenty three of the thirty nine American Indian tribes located in Oklahoma have opened gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma Native tribes to take advantage of the betting restrictions, and at this time run 10 gambling dens of their very own. Bingo is the game on which these casinos were founded. digital games like slots weren’t approved, on the grounds that they’re thought to contribute to gambling addiction more than bingo.
In the past few years, Oklahoma law have altered to allow for big American Indian gaming gambling dens. You’ll now see American Indian gambling dens with one armed bandits, video poker and black jack tables. Craps and roulette are not approved in the American Indian casinos yet, however that is simply a matter of time. No one can determine what having other games in the bingo houses will do for the popularity of bingo.
