Last Tuesday, at the LIDE meeting in Florianópolis, SC, the current Minister of Tourism Vinicius Lumertz, supported the need to open casinos to leverage significant investments and increase national tourism, as an independent need for an ideological position of government.
From the economic and financial point of view, there are not many ways for the new governments (state and federal) to obtain revenue, without increasing or creating another tax (like the CPMF), so this market may be indispensable in the next government.
Recall that there are two important bills in the National Congress in the Chamber of Deputies (PL442 / 1991, already approved in the CCJ, CFT and CDC) and the Federal Senate (PLS 186/2014), in addition to other essays, nothing prevents the current or nearby government from dealing with this matter in the context of a provisional measure (provided that this market is only a source of revenue for a "relevant and urgent" law object / MP) or another project of its own.
Finally, I would argue that in the discussion of the previous paragraphs, LOTTERIES are not included, which can not be treated as a "game of chance", because they are activities developed by the state itself, not for profit purposes and with earmarked revenue, by constitutional provision ( 195, III / CF), for social security, already administered by CEF and by some Brazilian states.
Nothing would be more correct to allow each state to independently and autonomously decide on these matters, from the will of the people of its state.
As a matter of imperative need of Brazil, I believe that there will be a change in the legislation that deals with these matters.
