Within a video game, there are rounds that the 5 players play. Within each of the rounds, one of the players will win. The game ends once one of the players reaches 5 total wins.

Given that the rounds are won by random chance, what is be the average amount of rounds needed to play in order for the game to conclude?

Sorry if the question is a little loaded. If you have any questions about the wording, I can elaborate in the comment thingy.

21 could be wrong but 5 players get 4 wins each before the one players gets the last needed win
