Flipping coins wins the state (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wisconsin

'the state' is the definition.
(Wisconsin is an example)

'flipping coins wins' is the wordplay.
'flipping' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'flips' mean this).
'coins'+'wins'='coinswins'
'coinswins' with letters rearranged gives 'WISCONSIN'.

(Other definitions for wisconsin that I've seen before include "State of north central US" , "US state bordering Lakes Superior and Michigan" , "The "Badger State"" , "US state, capital Madison" , "American state, capital Madison" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
