A new gaming regime in Mexico, which would cover both online and live gambling, is expected to be passed by legislators by the end of the year.
The gaming bill was passed in December of 2014 by the lower house of the Mexican Senate, and was expected to be fast tracked for approval later in the month before the current legislative session ended.
However, expectations were not met when Luis Miguel Barbosa, the President of the Mexican Senate, announced the new gaming bill would be delayed until 2015. At the time it was speculated the delay was unrelated to the bill itself, but due to the high amount of last minute controversial bills and constitutional amendments, including some from President Enrique Peña Nieto.
