How to use the pick a card

  1. Tap Draw to draw a card, or choose how many to draw at once.
  2. Drawn cards stay out of the deck, just like a real deck. The count of remaining cards is shown.
  3. Tap Shuffle to put every card back. Turn on jokers for a 54-card deck.

Card odds

  • Any specific card: 1 in 52 (about 1.9%).
  • An ace: 4 in 52, or 1 in 13 (7.7%).
  • A heart: 13 in 52, or 1 in 4.
  • A picture card (jack, queen or king): 12 in 52 (23%).

Shuffled properly

The deck is shuffled with the Fisher–Yates method using your browser's cryptographic random number generator, so every one of the 52! possible orders is equally likely. That's an 8 followed by 67 digits; a properly shuffled deck has almost certainly never been in that order before.
