A random playing card is a card selected randomly from a deck of cards.

Example: 8♣,4♣,10♦,10♠,Q♣,K♠,2♦,J♣,A♠ is a random draw of 9 cards without replacement
A random draw without replacement means that a card cannot be drawn several times, because it is not put back into the game (unlike a draw with replacement, where it is possible to draw the same card several times).
