Thai government delays casino bill vote until next parliamentary session
Thailand’s government delayed a vote on its casino bill, which had been scheduled for 9 April, until the next parliamentary session, reportedly after political opposition. The cabinet approved the draft in late March, and a committee of lawmakers is due to review it before a second reading. The proposal would allow casinos only within special entertainment complexes.
The delay leaves operators and investors without a settled timetable for the proposed casino market.
