Is the word jogar the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

No

While the primary meaning of "jogar" (to play a game or sport) is identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese, there is a difference in typical usage regarding the sense of "to throw." In Brazil, "jogar" is the standard verb used for "to throw away" or "to discard" (e.g., jogar fora). In Portugal, while "jogar" can be used to mean throwing an object, it is much more natural to use "deitar" or "atirar" when referring to discarding trash or throwing something away. Additionally, related vocabulary often shifts (e.g., videogame in Brazil vs. videojogo in Portugal).
