Rio de Janeiro city revokes permit for proposed betting terminals at Gávea
Rio de Janeiro’s Public Order Secretariat revoked a permit for To All Games Operações Lotéricas to install video lottery terminals at the Gávea racetrack. Separately, the state public prosecutor’s office opened an administrative procedure to examine the constitutionality of Governor Cláudio Castro’s decree regulating the activity and sought information on licensing criteria and the use of proceeds.
The revoked permit and legal review create uncertainty over whether video lottery terminals can operate at the proposed venue under the state framework.
