Minas Gerais lawmakers advance bill restricting lottery equipment to authorised venues
A committee of Minas Gerais’ Legislative Assembly found a bill on lottery equipment in commercial premises legally sound on 7 October 2025. The proposal would limit electronic lottery equipment to venues dedicated to authorised public lotteries, while allowing specified in-person betting terminals in bars and similar businesses; it now goes to two further committees.
Operators and venues would face restrictions on where lottery equipment can be installed and used if the bill becomes law.
