36a That is = Id es(t)
A casino provides game chips for people to gamble with, and a restaurant could offer both game and chips to eat.
Game chips = crisps
37d BOO tstr ING ?
. . . this would take care of 'not very supporting all round' but doesn't account for 'tstr', or maybe don't need to!
STRING (to string along) around an anag of HOSE would give SHOESTRING (lace)....
No, 37 d is (v)est=underwear not very with shoring=supporting (positioned around it)
Lace = defintion of shoestring
