'go round and round like this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'might a trout and eel' is the wordplay.
'might' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'trout'+'eel'='trouteel'
'trouteel' anagrammed gives 'ROULETTE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for roulette that I've seen before include "Gambling device" , "it's for the better, supposedly" , "Gambling game with small ball and revolving disc (8)" , "Gambling activity" , "SPORT/GAME" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
