Seminole Tribe leaders have announced a plan to roll out sports betting at their casinos in December — a first step in what could be a major expansion of gambling in Florida after approval from the U.S. Supreme Court.

It’s been almost two months since backers of an effort to bring Las Vegas-style casino gambling to North Florida failed to submit enough signatures in time to make it onto the November ballot, but legal jousting over the proposal hasn’t abated.

Attorney General Ashley Moody has asked the Florida Supreme Court to scrutinize a proposed constitutional amendment that would open the door to casinos in North Florida. A political committee backing the measure has surpassed the required number of signatures to start the review process.
