How the Wheel Works
The Spinning Animation
When you click the Spin button, the wheel begins rotating with realistic physics-based animation. It starts fast and gradually slows down, creating suspense as it approaches the final position. The pointer at the top indicates which segment will be selected.
Random Selection Algorithm
The winner is determined by a random algorithm that ensures each segment has an equal probability of being selected. The spinning animation then visually lands on the pre-determined result, combining fairness with visual excitement.
How to Use Spin the Wheel
- Enter your choices: Type each option on a separate line in the text area. You can add names, prizes, tasks, restaurants, or any choices you want.
- Select a color theme: Choose from six beautiful color themes to customize your wheel's appearance.
- Click Spin: Press the Spin button and watch the wheel rotate. The animation includes sound effects (which you can mute).
- See the winner: When the wheel stops, the winning segment is highlighted and announced with confetti celebration.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Spin the Wheel ensure fair random selection?
Our Spin the Wheel uses a combination of server-side cryptographic randomness and client-side visual animation. When you spin, the winner is determined server-side using Python's random module, which provides cryptographically secure random selection. The wheel animation then spins to visually land on this pre-determined result, ensuring complete fairness while providing an engaging visual experience.
Can I customize the wheel colors and appearance?
Yes! You can choose from multiple color themes including Rainbow, Pastel, Ocean, Sunset, Neon, and Monochrome. Each theme applies a beautiful gradient color scheme to your wheel segments. The wheel automatically distributes colors evenly across all your entries for visual appeal.
How many entries can I add to the wheel?
You can add up to 50 entries to the wheel. For best visual experience, we recommend 4-20 entries. With fewer entries, each segment is larger and easier to read. The wheel automatically adjusts segment sizes based on the number of entries.
Does the tool save my wheel entries?
Yes, the tool uses HTML5 Local Storage to remember your last wheel entries in your browser. This data never leaves your device and is not stored on our servers. You can clear saved data anytime by entering new entries or clearing your browser storage.
Can I use this for giveaways and raffles?
Absolutely! Spin the Wheel is perfect for giveaways, raffles, classroom activities, decision making, and party games. The visual spinning animation creates excitement and transparency. You can share your screen to let participants watch the wheel spin in real-time.
Is there sound during the spin?
Yes! The wheel features optional sound effects including tick sounds as the wheel spins past segments and a celebratory fanfare when the winner is revealed. You can toggle sounds on or off using the sound button before spinning.
