emblem

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

'it's significant there' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'two of them outside a gambling centre' is the wordplay.
'two of' says to double the letters (I've seen 'two' mean this).
'them' becomes 'em'.
'outside' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'centre' says to take the centre.
The middle letters of 'gambling' are 'bl'.
'em' doubled is 'emem'.
'emem' enclosing 'bl' is 'EMBLEM'.

'are' is the link.
