How the wheel works

How does the wheel pick a result?

The wheel selects a result at random before the animation starts, then calculates the exact rotation needed to land that result under the pointer. The displayed result always matches where the wheel visually stops.

Is every option equally likely?

Yes. Every option has an equal chance of being selected, using your browser's built-in random number generator with no weighting or bias.

Can I edit the options?

Yes. Add, remove, or edit any option using the text area on the right. Changes take effect on your next spin and stay only for your current browser session.
