A much niftier, refurbished gaming device (5,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fruit machine

'gaming device' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a much niftier refurbished' is the wordplay.
'refurbished' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'much'+'niftier'='amuchniftier'
'amuchniftier' anagrammed gives 'FRUIT-MACHINE'.

(Other definitions for fruit machine that I've seen before include "Gaming device" , "Gambling device taking coins" , "Feature of amusement arcade" , "One-armed bandit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
