Crossword Genius

Very exciting game at the plant (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

redhotpoker

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the plant' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'very exciting game' is the wordplay.
'very exciting' becomes 'red-hot'.
'game' becomes 'poker game' (poker is a kind of game).
'redhot'+'poker'='REDHOTPOKER'

'at' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
