Scottish guy about to break fruit machine (9)

I believe the answer is:

appliance

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

'machine' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for appliance that I've seen before include "Machine, piece of equipment" , "Tool or device for a specific task" , "Piece of kit" , "Useful device, gadget" , "Washing machine or toaster, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
