Popis: We review the properties of six families of orthogonal polynomials that form the main bulk of the collection called the Askey--Wilson scheme of polynomials. We give connection coefficients between them as well as the so-called linearization formulae and other useful important finite and infinite expansions and identities. An important part of the paper is the presentation of probabilistic models where most of these families of polynomials appear. These results were scattered within the literature in recent 15 years. We put them together to enable an overall outlook on these families and understand their crucial r\^{o}le in the attempts to generalize Gaussian distributions and find their bounded support generalizations. The paper is based on 65 items in the predominantly recent literature.
