The Nebraska Legislature on Wednesday began floor debate on two constitutional amendments to expand gaming in the state.

One is limited to Indian gaming. It would allow Class III gaming on the state's reservations and up to five more along the state's borders.

The second authorizes casino-style gaming statewide but allows the Legislature to sort out the details at a later date.
