Nebraska lawmakers on Tuesday began debating several proposals that could open up Class III gaming to tribes.

Tribes are backing an amendment to the state's constitution that would allow gaming on reservations. The Omaha, Winnebago and Santee Sioux tribes are also expressing support for an alternative that would allow them to set up casinos in urban areas.

Two other proposals are voter driven. If these are approved, the tribes could be allowed certain gaming devices.
