Oklahoma has long been interrelated with Bingo. This is owing to the fact that the American Indian bands of Oklahoma have provided Bingo games for ages. Guests from each of the surrounding states pile in cars and travel to Oklahoma to wager on Bingo for the weekends.
The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act became law after a landmark decision by The U.S. Supreme Court the year before. Since that instance, 23 of the 39 American Indian tribes located in Oklahoma have established gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma Native band to take advantage of the wagering restrictions, and at this time control 10 gambling dens of their own. Bingo is the game on which the above-mentioned casinos were founded. digital games such as slot machines were not allowed, due to the fact that they’re thought to lead to gambling dependency more than bingo.
In recent years, Oklahoma governing edicts has altered to permit big American Indian wagering gambling halls. You will now see American Indian gambling dens with slots, video poker and chemin de fer tables. Craps and roulette are still not legal in the Indian gambling halls as of yet, but this is just a waiting game. No one can say with whether having different games in the bingo houses will do for the appeal of bingo.
