Crossword Genius

Lighter game (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pontoon

This clue is a double definition.

'lighter' is the first definition.
(I know that pontoon is a type of lighter)

'game' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for pontoon that I've seen before include "Card game - type of bridge" , "Card game; floating support" , "Bridge of boats" , "Half of 1D [GAME OR BIRD]" , "Lighter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Independent.
