Alabama lottery, casino legislation heads to conference committee.

Alabama lawmakers are negotiating a compromise on legislation that would authorize a state lottery and casino gambling. The House of Representatives rejected Senate changes to gambling legislation, moving forward to find common ground between a House-passed plan, which includes sports betting and up to 10 casinos, and a scaled-back Senate version that excludes sports betting and allows fewer casinos. The compromise will need to be approved by both three-fifths of lawmakers and a majority of voters.
