Great as bingo? No no! (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

big

'great' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'bingo? no no' is the wordplay.
'no' is a deletion indicator.
'bingo' with 'no' removed is 'BIG'.

'as' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for big that I've seen before include "Of considerable size" , "Large or substantial" , "Circus tent" , "Huge" , "Sizeable" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
