I think " Circle of Steel " is a great song, very cleaverly written ( arn't they all?), and one that it would be great to discuss at length here.
I don't think that the "circle of steel " is a roulette wheel.
"Rows of lights in a circle of steel
Where you place your bets on a great big wheel"
I would suggest that the "great big wheel" is a roulette wheel, or some form of spinning wheel that you can bet on..
I would suggest that the circle of steel would be a casino of some kind, maybe a casino in a tent, a travelling casino, is there such a place ???.
I have trouble imagining a row of lights in a circle, I always imagine rows to be a straight line.
I really like Annie's explanation. Maybe Gords been to your town Annie.
Val's insite is also really good too, it's always good to look at the story behind the words..
Have a great week everyone..
Keep smiling... Ron.
