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' is an anagram indicator.
'gets' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'riches' becomes 'fortune' (fortune is a kind of riches).
'feel'+'how'='feelhow'
'feelhow' with letters rearranged 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".)
