Brazil’s Senator Irajá Abreu, a leading advocate for permitting brick-and-mortar casino venues, estimates that this initiative could yield approximately R$20 billion (roughly $3.7 billion) in annual tax profits.
The country's gambling sector must have been regulated by PL 2234/2022, which was approved by the local Justice and Citizenship Committee.
This law encompasses a wide range of activities, such as:
The document already contains provisions for legalisation, yet their implementation has experienced repeated delays. The Senate’s voting process on gaming venue construction has been postponed multiple times, including the cancellation of the July session.
Mr Abreu remains optimistic that the deliberation on the initiative will soon advance. He considers this issue a matter of economic and social development, not merely the building of new leisure centres. The primary objective is to create a favourable business climate capable of generating over a million jobs for residents. Tax profits will be directed to support social programmes such as healthcare and public safety.
Permitting the land-based vertical will significantly improve local travel-related infrastructure. In 2023, the country attracted 6 million tourists, while the Dominican Republic welcomed about 10 million visitors, despite being roughly 175 times smaller than Brazil.
According to international data, in many states, legalising ground casinos has doubled tourist inflow within 5 years.
Such instances have been verified across Europe, Asia, and multiple Latin American destinations:
Mr Abreu stated that the rise of travelling, facilitated by approved offline gambling, has already been observed across the globe. Although gaming is an essential component of Brazilian culture, this sector still largely operates in the shadows. The sphere does not generate tax revenue for the country and its residents, and the absence of regulation leaves the population without crucial protection.
