Feel how criminal gets riches and fateful revolver (5,2,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wheel of fortune

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fateful revolver' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'feel how criminal gets riches' is the wordplay.
'criminal' indicates an anagram.
'gets' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'riches' becomes 'fortune' (fortune is a kind of riches).
'feel'+'how'='feelhow'
'feelhow' anagrammed gives 'wheelof'.
'wheelof'+'fortune'='WHEEL OF FORTUNE'

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for wheel of fortune that I've seen is " Chance to cycle here".)
