Blackjack

Blackjack, "also known as 21, a number which defines the object of the game," is a Human recreational gambling game.

The rules are as follow: "10s and picture cards are worth 10, ace -- 1 or 11 -- the other cards face value. The dealer must hit 17 -- five cards under pays double." 

On Theta VIII, blackjack was one of the games emulated in the physical representation of the novel The Hotel Royale. When the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) investigated the planet, Data proved to be a skilled Blackjack player. He beat the odds to get a "five card Charlie."
