Rank order is the usual high-card order with Ace high (14) and 2 low, which is what poker, bridge and most trick-taking games use. Some games differ — in many rummy variants Ace is low, and in a few games 2 outranks everything — so the column is the common convention, not a law.

How this list was built

No jokers, and the page says why. A standard deck is 52 cards in four suits of thirteen. Jokers were added in America in the 1860s for a specific game and are used in only a handful of others; most games are defined without them. If you need one, add it yourself — leaving it out is the standard, not an omission.

No-repeats makes this a dealt deck, not a coin. With the box ticked, a drawn card does not come back until all 52 have been drawn, which is how a real deck behaves. Untick it and every draw is independent — a fresh, shuffled deck each time, which is what you want for probability exercises.

Every card is equally likely, which is the whole test of a fair draw. Over a long run each suit should come up about a quarter of the time and each rank about one time in thirteen. The table is the pool, so you can see nothing is weighted.

The cards are drawn on this page, from the data. No card images are loaded — each card is rendered from its rank and suit, so there is nothing to license, nothing to download and nothing that can go missing.

Sources. The standard 52-card French-suited deck as used in English-speaking countries. Rank order follows the usual Ace-high convention, with the exceptions noted above. The draw uses the browser's own random number source.

Common questions

Is the draw fair?

Yes. Each of the 52 cards has exactly the same chance, and with no-repeats on the deck is dealt through without returning cards, like a physical deck. Over many draws the suits come up about equally.

Why are there no jokers?

Because a standard deck has 52 cards, and most games are defined without jokers. They are a nineteenth-century American addition used in only a few games. If your game needs them, treat a second draw as the joker.

Can I draw only red cards, or only hearts?

Yes — set the suit or colour dropdown and the count under the button shows how many cards are in the pool. No-repeats still works within the filtered set.

How many ways can a deck be shuffled?

52 factorial — a number with 68 digits. Any properly shuffled deck is almost certainly in an order that has never existed before in the history of playing cards. That is not a figure of speech; it is arithmetic.

Is this suitable for a game with money on it?

For a game among friends, yes. It uses the browser's ordinary random number source, which is fair but not cryptographic, so it is not suitable where a draw has to withstand a legal challenge.
