Minnesota lawmakers who approved new forms of gambling in bars to help pay for a new Minnesota Vikings stadium will get their first chance to scrutinize lagging revenues from that plan.

Backers have acknowledged disappointment, but say that the games need time to grow in popularity and to be available at more businesses.
