What is Card Shuffler & Dealer?

The Card Shuffler & Dealer is a free virtual deck of cards that shuffles and deals cards for any card game. Perfect for game nights when you don't have a physical deck — all randomization happens privately on your device.

The dealer handles a standard 52-card deck and includes presets for poker, blackjack, Go Fish, rummy, war, and hearts, so the player count and hand size auto-fill the moment you pick a game. Each shuffle uses Fisher-Yates randomization, and poker hands are scored automatically (pair through straight flush).

How to use

1. Click shuffle to randomize the deck of 52 cards
2. Set the number of players and cards per hand
3. Click deal to distribute cards to each player

• Running quick poker or blackjack practice hands while studying probabilities.

Result

Set up a poker night: shuffle the deck and deal 5 cards to each of 4 players.

FAQ

Is the shuffle actually random or does it favour certain orders?

It uses Fisher-Yates, the same algorithm casinos rely on for digital deals. Every permutation of the 52 cards is equally likely, drawn from your device's secure random source. No deck order is favoured over another.

Can the dealer handle more than one deck, or add jokers?

Yes. Set anywhere from 1 to 8 decks for shoe games like canasta or casino blackjack, and add 1 or 2 jokers per deck when a game needs them. The remaining-card count updates as you change the deck, so you always know how many cards are left to deal.

What happens when there aren't enough cards left to deal a full hand?

The dealer warns you and stops short — it will not silently deal fewer cards than requested. Lower the players or cards-per-hand setting, or shuffle a fresh deck to continue.

Does the poker preset score the hands for me?

Yes. After dealing, each five-card hand shows its rank — pair, two pair, three of a kind, straight, flush, full house, four of a kind, or straight flush. Ace can play high or low for the low straight A-2-3-4-5.

Are my hands and shuffle history saved anywhere?

Nothing leaves your device. The deck, scores, and deal history live only on this page and disappear when you close it. There's no account, no server log, no record of what cards anyone was holding.
