In justifying his Bill, Senator Irajá states that “the legalization of casino games within integrated resorts, followed by a concession process for exploration, will attract large investors to the Brazilian tourism market, boosting economic activity in all the regions of the country.”
The text provides that the physical space occupied by the casino should correspond to a maximum of 10% of the total area of the integrated resort. Also, the project establishes that "it is up to the Union, exclusively, to grant, regulate and supervise the services, the implantation and the operation of the activities of resorts integrated with casinos."
The Senator’s proposal defines that the resorts integrated with casinos will be authorized through public concessions with a term of 35 years, observing the maximum limit of one resort per state and one in the Federal District.
According to him, “we made the option to present a cautious and conservative project,” on the issue of one casino per state and DF. "If it works, it can be expanded in the medium and long term."
