American Sign Language:  "Casino"

A student asked me the other day if there was a sign for "casino."

Hmmm...there isn't a widely accepted sign for casino.
I saw the sign "pull down handle" used for "casino" once. (As in a "slot machine" handle.)  But I really don't think that is the way to go.
Mostly I just see it spelled. 

But there is a sign for "gambling."  It is the same sign as "throw dice."
Shake an imaginary set of dice twice with one hand and release on the second shake.
Move the fist forward, once back once, and then as you move it forward the second time you "let the dice go."

Thus you could sign, "WANT GO-to GAMBLE?"  = "Do you want to go gambling?"
Or you could sign, "WANT GO-to C-A-S-I-N-O?"
