type Options is range 1 .. 4;
package Generate_Options is new Ada.Numerics.Discrete_Random(Options);
A_Generator : Generate_Options.Generator;
...
X := Generate_Options.Random(A_Generator);
Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line("Selected option is" & Options'image(X));
You could of course replace type Options with
type Suits is (Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs);
and have several Dealers instead of a single A_Generator, and so forth.

What have you been reading? If your book doesn't cover random
number generation, you can go to the authoritative source, section
A.5.2 of the Ada 95 Reference Manual (available online).
