Way to receive permit for game of chance (8)
I believe the answer is:
roulette
'game of chance' is the definition.
(roulette is a kind of game of chance)
'way to receive permit' is the wordplay.
'way' becomes 'route' (route is a kind of way).
'to receive' is an insertion indicator.
'permit' becomes 'let' ('let' can be a synonym of 'permit').
'route' going around 'let' is 'ROULETTE'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for roulette that I've seen before include "gambling business" , "French gambling" , "sort of gambling" , "Gambling device" , "Half of 1D [GAME OR BIRD]" .)
