Spade or club's lowest face card (9)

I believe the answer is:

blackjack

(Other definitions for blackjack that I've seen before include "Gambling card game" , "Club" , "Vingt-et-un - pirates' ensign" , "A card game in which the object is to beat the bank" , "2 8 [CASINO GAME]" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
