Risky game for which a red spinning wheel is used? (7,8)
I believe the answer is:
russian roulette
'risky game' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'a red spinning wheel is used?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is present in the answer.
'red' could be 'r' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'r' is found within the answer.
'wheel' could be 'roulette' (synonyms) and 'roulette' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'for which' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for russian roulette that I've seen before include "deadly stunt" , "risky business" , "Dangerous game of chance" , "suicidal undertaking" , "Deadly gamble" .)
