A four-year-old bill seeking to legalize a wide range of gambling activities in Brazil has suffered yet another setback at the hands of state politicians.

On Wednesday, Brazil’s Comisión de Constitución, Justicia y Ciudadanía (CCJ) voted 13-2 rejecting PLS 186/2014, which provided for the legalization of not just online gambling and sports betting, but also land-based casinos, bingo halls, video gaming, and the locally popular jogo do bicho.

PLS 186/2014 was introduced by Senator Ciro Noguiera in 2014 and later amended by Senator Benedito de Lira to include other forms of gambling. The bill was scheduled for discussion several times last year, but committee members failed to discuss the proposal—until Wednesday, when it became the top agenda at the parliament commission’s hearing.

During the hearing, Noguiera and de Lira described the bill as the government’s answer to the growing black market operations, as it will direct the revenue from unregulated gambling services into Brazil’s state coffers. The legislation, if passed, will also pave the way for the creation of a new sector and thousands of new jobs for Brazil’s citizens.
