Do you think that casinos would continue to want to operate in Brazil with these taxes? I am assuming that as a result, casinos would offer higher prices on their services as well due to the taxes and would most likely drive away customers. Would this eradicate the gambling sector altogether?
In this case, the casino has a way out. The resource administrators can simply change the jurisdiction to another one, where the tax rate is significantly lower. Today, this is a fairly common practice. Therefore, I do not see any problem in this. It would be stupid to follow the lead of the authorities and give such taxes. Although, who knows what is in people's heads. Some will stay, as they are patriots of their country, but this will affect the players. Everyone makes their own choice.
