“Viva Las Vegas”

Hi Strands fans. With a theme like "Viva Las Vegas", today's puzzle was always going to be about casino games, and thankfully I knew enough about them to complete the grid without hints.

I found CRAPS in the bottom-right corner, followed by BLACKJACK to its left. ROULETTE was in the middle of the board, with POKER just above it.

Importantly, this carved out a series of letters in a row that had to be the spangram, so I connected GAMBLING in a flattened horseshoe shape in the middle of the board.

Two answers were left to find. SLOTS was in the top left, which just left BACCARAT on the opposite side to complete the puzzle.
