Pub in Goole hosts game (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bingo

'game' is the definition.
(bingo is a game)

'pub in goole hosts' is the wordplay.
'hosts' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'BINGO' can be found hidden inside 'pub in goole'.

(Other definitions for bingo that I've seen before include "Cry on discovering something" , "I've completed my card!" , "House!" , "Lotto" , "Housey-housey" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
