Roulette Wheel · Spin the Wheel · Random Picker
JAY Project's Roulette Wheel spins instantly with whatever items you enter — lunch menus, names, numbers — and picks a winner with cryptographic randomness. Perfect for breaking decision deadlocks, friendly bets, or settling turn order.
The stopping position is decided by crypto.getRandomValues, so the result can't be rigged. Slice colors auto-assign for readability, and presets fill in common lists like lunch menus or numbers 1-10 in one tap.
Best Use Cases
🍱 Lunch wheel
Tired of "what should we eat?" — hit the lunch-menu preset, spin once, done.
🎁 Name picker / turn order
Put friends' names in and spin to pick a presenter or a victim of the next round — faster and fairer than rock-paper-scissors.
🎲 Friendly bets
The spin animation and highlighted winner slice turn small bets into a suspenseful little ritual.
How to Play
- Add items: Type the items you want the wheel to pick between.
- Create the wheel: Hit Create Wheel to build the roulette from your items.
- Spin: Press Spin and the wheel rotates.
- See the winner: The winning slice is highlighted when the wheel stops. Spin again any time.
💡 Pro Tip: Lunch menus and numbers 1-10 fill in with a single preset button. Custom items stay loaded so you can re-spin without retyping.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Is the spin really random?
Yes — the stopping position is decided by crypto.getRandomValues. The spinning animation is purely visual; the result is fixed the moment you hit Spin, so it cannot be predicted or rigged.
Q. How many items can the wheel handle?
2-20 items keeps each slice readable; more is allowed but slices get narrow. Colors are auto-assigned per slice so adjacent items remain distinguishable.
Q. Do I have to retype lunch menus or numbers every time?
No — preset buttons fill lunch menus and the numbers 1-10 in one tap. Custom items also stay loaded so you can spin again without re-entry.
Q. Is it normal for the same item to win twice in a row?
Yes — true randomness occasionally repeats. Across many spins the distribution evens out.
Q. Can I adjust the spin duration?
The wheel spins for 2-3 seconds, fast enough to keep momentum and slow enough to feel like a real wheel. The winning slice is highlighted when the wheel settles.
Q. Can I remove an item so it can't win again?
Yes — delete an item from the list and recreate the wheel. Useful for tournament-style draws where you narrow down winners.
