A deck that remembers what it has dealt
This draws real playing cards from a real deck structure: 52 cards in four suits, with jokers added if you want them. Cards you have drawn are gone from the deck until you reset or reshuffle, exactly as they would be on a table.
That memory is what separates it from a random symbol generator. Draw an ace of spades and it will not appear again from that deck, so games that depend on cards being used up behave correctly.
You can stack up to eight decks together, which is how casinos deal blackjack and how a large group keeps a game going without exhausting the cards.
Deal cards in three steps
Set the deck up once, then keep dealing from it for the whole game.
Choose how many decks to combine, from 1 to 8, and whether jokers are included.
Set how many cards each draw should deal, from 1 to 10.
Draw, then either see the cards straight away or reveal them yourself one at a time. Reset or reshuffle when you want the full deck back.
Decks, jokers and reveal control
The settings map onto the decisions you would make with physical cards.
- 1 to 8 combined decks, up to 432 cards in play with jokers included
- Jokers on or off, treated as their own rank rather than a wildcard substitute
- Deals of 1 to 10 cards at a time
- Manual reveal, which holds the cards face down until you turn them over
- A live count of how many cards remain undealt
- Reset and reshuffle, each of which restores the full deck and clears the draw history
- A share link so a group watches the same deal
Card games, teaching and party rounds
Anywhere a deck would do the job but there is no deck in the room.
A group plays a card game on a train with nobody carrying a pack.
A teacher draws cards to practise suits, ranks and simple probability with a class.
A party host deals one card per player per round, with manual reveal building the suspense.
A blackjack practice session uses six combined decks to mirror casino conditions.
A magician rehearses a routine that needs a genuinely unpredictable card.
A two-player game runs from a shared link so both players see the same deal.
Can the same card appear twice
Within one deck, no. Each card is dealt at most once and the remaining count drops with every draw, so the deck depletes just as a physical one does. Reset and reshuffle both restore the complete deck and clear what has been dealt.
Across multiple decks, yes — and that is intentional. Combining four decks puts four ace-of-spades cards into play, so seeing the same card twice in a round means you drew two different physical copies. If you need every card to be unique, use a single deck.
What the deck will not do for you
It deals cards; it does not know any game's rules. There is no scoring, no turn order and no hand evaluation, so the players still run the game.
Jokers are dealt as jokers. The tool will not substitute one for another card, because substitution is a rule of your game rather than a property of the deck.
Reset and reshuffle both wipe the draw history. If you need a record of what was dealt, note it as you go.
Dealing cleanly in a group
- Turn on manual reveal for anything with suspense — a card that appears instantly kills the moment.
- Watch the remaining count in longer games and reshuffle before the deck runs dry mid-round.
- Use one deck when duplicates would break your game, and several when you need the cards to last.
- Set the deal size to the number of cards each player receives, so one draw serves one player.
Card draw questions
Can the same card be drawn twice?
Not from a single deck — drawn cards are removed until you reset or reshuffle. With several decks combined, separate copies of the same card exist, so a repeat is a different physical card rather than a duplicate draw.
How many decks can I use at once?
From 1 to 8. With jokers included that puts as many as 432 cards into play, which is enough for a long session or a blackjack shoe.
How many cards can I deal at a time?
Between 1 and 10 per draw. Set it to the size of a player's hand so one draw deals one player in.
Can I include jokers?
Yes, as an option. They are dealt as jokers in their own right — the tool does not treat them as a wildcard standing in for another card, since that is a rule of your game.
How do I get the full deck back?
Reset or reshuffle. Both restore every card and clear the record of what has been dealt, so the deck starts complete again.
How do I know how many cards are left?
A remaining count updates with every draw. Keep an eye on it in longer games so you can reshuffle before the deck runs out mid-round.
Can I hold the cards face down?
Yes. Turn on manual reveal and each drawn card stays hidden until you turn it over, which is what you want when an audience is watching.
Does it play the game for me?
No. It deals cards and tracks the deck. Scoring, turn order and hand rankings stay with the players.
