Brazil Senate faces calls for September vote on land-based gambling reforms, including casinos
Gambling developments in Brazil see Senator Irajá Abreu push the Senate to complete its review and vote on Bill 2,234/22 by the end of September.
Abreu is the rapporteur of Bill 2,234/22, which carries the mandate to modernise Brazil’s federal laws governing land-based gambling activities related to casinos, horseracing, bingos, and the sale of jogos de bicho (instant win games).
Following its recess, the Senate began its review of the Bill, which includes the headline measure to annul the 1946 Decree Law of President Gaspar Dutra, which banned casinos from operating in Brazil’s municipalities and districts.
Providing an update, Abreu noted a positive response to the Bill’s text, which has received the support of Magnho José Santos, President of the Legal Gaming Institute (IJL), and Hazenclever Lopes Cançado, President of the Rio de Janeiro State Lottery (Loterj).
