The vote to legalise casinos, bingo, jogo de bicho and betting on horseracing in Brazil could be pushed back from August to October.

On 19 June the Justice and Citizenship Commission approved PL 2,234/2022 by 14 votes to 12 paving the way for Brazil casino regulation. It was then expected to be voted on by the senate plenary after its return from recess on 1 August.

However, reports from CNN indicate the senate president, Rodrigo Pacheco, places more importance on matters relating tax and state debt than he does the gambling bill.

As a result, the bill on gambling could now be pushed back until October.
