'places for gaming as in tossing coins' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'as in tossing coins' is the wordplay.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'tossing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'coins' with letters rearranged gives 'cinos'.
'as' placed into 'cinos' is 'CASINOS'.

Can you help me to learn more?
