Bills dealing with fantasy gaming will be in front of Nebraska lawmakers this week.
Senator Tyson Larson of O’Neill says a lot of Nebraskans are playing those games…..

Larson says his bill would not be an expansion of gambling…..

The bills could run into a filibuster, which may kill their chances of advancing this year.
