on a roll

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

'with continuing success' is the definition.
'on a roll' can be an answer for 'success' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'with continuing' bit.

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for on a roll that I've seen before include "Enjoying a winning streak" , "Hitting a purple patch (as bacon might be?)" , "having a lot of luck?" , "Piano music was once stored here" , "Experiencing a run of good form" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
