Florida legislature to meet on multi-billion dollar gambling deal

A new plan to expand gambling options and legalize sports betting is expected to be discussed at a legislature session in Tallahassee Monday morning.

The bill would create a gaming control commission, expand the table games offered by the Seminole tribe and allow new casinos to be built in South Florida.
