SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KTIV) -

The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission wants a judge to consolidate two lawsuits filed against it by the owner of Sioux City's Argosy casino.

Penn National has gone to court to overturn the commission's decisions that put the gambling license up for bid for a land-based casino in Woodbury County and rejected a contract extension through 2015 with its non-profit partner, Missouri River Historical Development.

Penn National claims the commission's actions were unconstitutional and beyond its authority.

The commission filed a motion in Polk County asking the cases be held at the same time.
