How it is calculated

The deck has 52 cards: 4 suits ♠ ♥ ♦ ♣ of 13 ranks from A to K, or 54 with jokers. Possible hands of k cards = C(deck size, k), so five cards from 52 give 2,598,960 hands.

Example

Inputs: Cards to draw = 1, Add two jokers = no, Draw number = 1. Result: Cards drawn: 10♣; Deck size: 52; Cards left: 51.

Limits and caveats

  • Each draw starts from a fresh full deck and does not remember earlier cards.
  • Possible hands count cards without order.
