Brazil president announces desire to sanction bill allowing casino establishment

The president of Brazil announced that he will support the bill that will legalize casinos and gambling in Brazil, including jogo do bicho and bingo. But in terms of income and job creation, he believes that this is not what will save the nation.

The Senate committees have given their approval to the bill, which is currently awaiting floor approval before being submitted for presidential sanction. Already, the lower house has approved it.

The plan permits the establishment of casinos in recreation areas or tourist hubs, which include upscale lodging, dining establishments, bars, and meeting and event spaces.
