Brazil’s long-expected gambling expansion will have to wait until 2019, according to a key legislator.

On Wednesday, Chamber of Deputies president Rodrigo Maia met with party leaders to discuss the country’s proposed must-pass tourism legislation, which is scheduled to be voted on next week.

Deputy Heculano Passos told Games Magazine Brasil that resort casinos wouldn’t be part of the legislation and that legislators were also unlikely to discuss any other form of gambling expansion until next year.

In March, an attempt was made to include casinos in the tourism bill, but deputies voted down the proposal due what they perceived as a lack of proper debate. Expectations were raised last week after local media reported that Las Vegas Sands boss Sheldon Adelson had paid another trip to Brazil to push for casino approval.
