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

'dealer?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'in casino cranky members upset' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'upset' is a reversal indicator.
'ocran' is hidden in the letters of 'casino cranky members'.
'ocran' backwards is 'NARCO'.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
