And if you are going to also permit Online gaming, it should be owned and controlled by the actual casino developers. Brazil is smart to charge a higher tax for online gaming, but allowing this form will cost jobs at the live casinos, and the convenience factor will create a much larger issue with problem gambling, especially in low income neighborhoods. It might be prudent to postpone the online part of the Legislation, until some of the real casinos are operational. Also Brazil is smart to restrict the number of casinos allowed in any state to 3 operations, as this will spur development of destination casinos in places like Rio De Janeiro, probably on a scale of Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands and Resort World Sentosa.
