Senator Irajá says Brazil casino bill is ready for Senate vote
Brazilian senator Irajá Abreu, rapporteur for Bill 2.234/2022, said the proposal to regulate land-based casinos and bingo and legalise jogo do bicho and horse-race betting is ready for a vote. He said it could advance before the Senate’s July recess, which runs from 18 to 31 July; senator Eduardo Girão opposes the bill, citing potential social harm.
The bill could change the rules for casinos, bingo, jogo do bicho and horse-race betting if Congress approves it.
