'gambling site' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'criminally menaced amateurs' is the wordplay.
'criminally' indicates an anagram.
'menaced'+'amateurs'='menacedamateurs'
'menacedamateurs' is an anagram of 'AMUSEMENT ARCADE'.

Can you help me to learn more?
