Turned over in pontoon, I sacrificed fortune needed to win here (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

casino

'to win here' is the definition.
(where a gambler might win money)

'turned over in pontoon i sacrificed fortune' is the wordplay.
'turned over' says the letters should be written backwards.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'onisac' is hidden within 'pontoon i sacrificed fortune'.
'onisac' in reverse letter order is 'CASINO'.

'needed' is the link.

(Other definitions for casino that I've seen before include "Gambling establishment" , "--- Royale (Fleming)" , "Building for gambling" , "Scorsese film - Bond film if "royale"" , "Where gambling may be seen" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
