The Brazilian Senate has postponed the vote on Bill 2,234, which aims to legalize casinos, bingo, and the illegal jogo do bicho, citing a low quorum. Only 56 senators were present, far below the required number for such a significant vote. The bill, introduced in 1991, has faced years of debate and opposition, particularly from conservative and religious groups. Proponents argue it could generate substantial investments and create millions of jobs, but the delay leaves the future of gambling legalization in Brazil uncertain. A new vote date has yet to be announced.
