Crossword Genius

Aristocrat in casino blessed (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

noble

'aristocrat' is the definition.
(I know that noble is a type of male aristocrat)

'in casino blessed' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'NOBLE' is hidden within 'casino blessed'.

(Other definitions for noble that I've seen before include "Lord" , "Honourable ? aristocratic" , "Stately" , "Maybe count" , "Blue-blooded" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
