Brazil is primed for its first vote to legalise casinos, sports betting and online gaming.
The Senate Constitutional and Justice Commission is to vote today on the bill, Casino Compendium reported.
There was no vote last week to make changes to the bill.
It proposes federal supervision of Jogo do Bicho, a popular but currently illegal lottery-style game, slots and video bingo only being allowed inside casinos and bingo halls respectively, and rejection of amendments to allow existing hotels and horse tracks to house casinos.
In addition, a possible amendment that would have raised gambling taxes to 30 per cent for online and land-based gaming was rejected.
The bill still proposes taxes of 10 per cent for land-based gaming and 15 per cent for igaming.
