Casino game let into the right track (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

roulette

'casino game' is the definition.
(I know that Roulette is a type of casino game)

'let into the right track' is the wordplay.
'into' is an insertion indicator.
'the right track' becomes 'route' (route to a destination).
'let' placed inside 'route' is 'ROULETTE'.

(Other definitions for roulette that I've seen before include "Half of 1D [GAME OR BIRD]" , "gambling business" , "risky venture" , "French gambling" , "Gambling game with spinning wheel and ball" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
