Sports gambling will take the final step toward becoming reality Tuesday during a special meeting of the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission. Commission administrator Brian Ohorilko says the regulators will take a vote on the emergency rules.

Ohorilko says the earliest Iowa’s 19 casinos could take bets would be the middle of next month.

The special meeting Tuesday is at 10 a-m at the Drury Inn and Suites in West Des Moines.
