How the Wheel Spinner Works
The wheel is drawn on an HTML5 <canvas> element. Each option occupies an equal arc. When you press Spin, the tool calculates a random stopping angle using this logic:
segmentAngle = 2π ÷ numberOfOptions
normalised = totalRotation % 2π
winnerIndex = floor( (2π − normalised) ÷ segmentAngle ) % numberOfOptions
Variable breakdown:
- minSpins — minimum 5 full rotations so every spin looks convincing and feels satisfying.
- Math.random() — adds an extra random fraction of a full turn to determine the precise stopping point.
- segmentAngle — 360° divided equally among all options so no entry has any advantage.
- winnerIndex — maps the final resting angle back to the option array to identify the winner.
The animation runs via requestAnimationFrame with a quartic ease-out function, mimicking the natural friction of a physical wheel slowing down.

✔ Winner AnnouncedWhat Is a Spin the Wheel Tool?
A spin the wheel tool is a digital recreation of the classic fairground or game-show spinning wheel. You provide a list of options — names, choices, tasks, or anything else — and the wheel randomly selects one when spun. It replaces arguments, manual draws, and decision fatigue with a single, visually satisfying click.
The value goes beyond randomness. When a wheel picks the outcome, everyone watching feels the process was fair because it was visible and equal. Psychologists call this procedural fairness — and it's why wheel spinners are trusted for everything from school classrooms to viral social media giveaways with thousands of participants.
Whether you are a teacher in Chennai choosing which student to call on, an influencer in Mumbai running a contest, or a group of friends in Kolkata settling a weekend-plan argument, a wheel spinner delivers an instant, unbiased answer that everyone accepts.
