What this roulette wheel actually is
The wheel loads with twelve numbered slices — a nod to a simplified roulette layout — but the numbers are just placeholder entries. This is a custom roulette wheel, meaning every entry is editable. Clear the defaults and type in whatever you're really deciding: team names, prizes, chores, movie titles, dinner options. The wheel doesn't care what the entries say; it just picks one at random when you hit Spin.
Each entry gets an equal slice by default. If you want one option to come up more often, give it a higher weight using the numeric input in that entry's row. A weight of 3 makes that slice three times as wide — and proportionally more likely to land. You can also assign a custom hex colour to individual entries, or let the wheel draw from one of sixteen preset palettes in the Customize panel.
The tool runs entirely in your browser. There's no account to create, nothing to install, and no limit on how many times you spin.
How to customise your roulette wheel
The entry panel sits alongside the wheel. You can build your list a few different ways:
- One at a time: type an entry into the text field and press Enter. It appears on the wheel immediately.
- Bulk import: paste a newline-separated list into the bulk text area to add many entries at once — useful when you already have a list copied from a doc or spreadsheet.
- CSV upload: upload a .csv file and the first column becomes your entry list. Good for longer, structured datasets.
- AI suggestions: hit the Ideas button and the tool generates contextually relevant entry ideas based on what's already on the wheel.
Once your list is in, you can reorder entries by dragging the grip handle, sort them A–Z, Z–A, or by weight, duplicate any entry, edit it inline, or hide it with the eye-toggle so it stays in the list but gets skipped during spins. The Remove Winner toggle — found just below the wheel — deletes each winning entry from the pool right after it's picked, so no option can win twice in the same session.
Spin settings and sounds
Below the wheel you'll find a small control bar. Spin duration is one of three fixed choices: 3, 5, or 10 seconds. Pick 3 for rapid back-to-back decisions; pick 10 when you want a bit of drama before the reveal.
The Customize panel also covers sound. There are three win-sound options, a catalog of spin sounds, and a countdown-sound catalog — including Silent if you're somewhere you'd rather keep quiet. When a countdown sound is selected, a 3-beat countdown plays before each spin. A master volume slider (0–100%) and a Sound on/off toggle let you dial it in exactly.
For the visual side: choose from three pointer styles (Pin, Arrow, or Classic), two font options (Fredoka or Plus Jakarta Sans), and any of the sixteen named palettes — Carnival, Sunset, Ocean, Candy, Berry, Forest, Neon, Aurora, Tropical, Monochrome, Coral Reef, Citrus, Midnight, Earth, Royal, or Bubblegum. The Shuffle colors button rerandomises the active palette order if you want a fresh look without switching palettes entirely.
Who uses this roulette wheel
Teachers and educators
Replace the numbers 1–12 with student names and spin to call on someone cold without it feeling personal — the wheel decided, not you. Alternatively, load the wheel with discussion topics, vocabulary words, or quiz categories. The Remove Winner toggle ensures every student gets a turn before anyone is called twice. For more classroom-specific formats, the full wheels directory has dedicated pickers built for education.
Streamers and content creators
A roulette wheel on stream is instant audience engagement. Put viewer names in, spin for a giveaway winner, and share the result directly from the winner dialog — the share buttons cover native share, copy-to-clipboard, X (Twitter), WhatsApp, and Facebook. Spin history stays visible on screen throughout the session so your audience can see who's won previously. You can also use the wheel for challenge roulettes: load it with game modes, difficulty settings, or dares, spin before each round, and let chance drive the content.
Party and game hosts
Truth-or-dare wheels, drink roulette (with non-alcoholic options just as valid), spin-to-decide-who-goes-first — the numbered default already works for plenty of party games. Swap in custom labels for anything more specific. The Shuffle on Spin toggle randomises entry order at the start of each spin, which feels more chaotic and lively in a party setting. Sounds and the 3-beat countdown add a theatrical pause before the result drops.
Teams and workplaces
Deciding who leads the next standup, who picks the lunch spot, or which backlog item gets prioritised this sprint — these are exactly the low-stakes choices that waste more meeting time than they should. Load the wheel once, spin, move on. The random picker works similarly for straight name draws if you prefer a list format over a wheel.
Families and households
Chore roulette, movie-night picker, dinner decider — the numbered slices become "clean the bathroom", "vacuum", "do the dishes" with about thirty seconds of editing. Kids who might argue with a parent's decision tend to accept the wheel's verdict more gracefully. The Remove Winner toggle distributes chores evenly without repeats.
Giveaway hosts and event organisers
Paste contestant names in bulk, or upload a CSV of entries. Spin for a winner. The winner dialog shows the result clearly and includes share buttons so you can broadcast it immediately. For multi-prize draws, leave Remove Winner on so each spin eliminates the previous winner from contention. The session's spin history underneath the wheel acts as a running record of who won what, in order.
Roulette wheel simulator vs. casino roulette — what's different
Casino roulette has a fixed set of numbered pockets (typically 37 or 38), a physical ball, and real money on the line. This tool shares the visual concept of a spinning wheel divided into slices, but that's where the overlap ends. You define the entries, you set the weights, and nothing here is connected to gambling of any kind. There's no house edge, no betting mechanic, and no currency involved. It's a decision-making tool that borrows the satisfying spin-and-land format of roulette for everyday choices. If you're looking to practise casino roulette probabilities specifically, this isn't that — but if you want a fair, customisable random picker shaped like a roulette wheel, you're in the right place.
How this compares to other online roulette wheel tools
Google's built-in "spin a wheel" result (triggered by searching "random wheel" or similar) gives you a basic numbered wheel with limited customisation. It's fine for a quick number pick. This wheel goes further: per-entry weights, hidden entries, bulk and CSV import, AI-generated entry suggestions, sixteen colour palettes with per-entry colour overrides, sound controls, spin-duration choices, and a full session history. The wheel generator on this site also lets you build a completely blank wheel from scratch if none of the preset pages fit your use case. The difference isn't just feature count — it's that every setting here is exposed and adjustable without leaving the page.
Spin history and sharing results
Every time the wheel lands, the winner is logged in the spin history section below the wheel — newest result at the top. That list stays for the duration of your session and can be cleared with the Clear button whenever you want a fresh slate. There's no way to export the list or remove individual entries from history, so if the record matters, note it down separately.
Winners from this wheel also appear in the global history dropdown in the site header, alongside winners from any other spin the wheel pages you use in the same browser. It's a lightweight way to glance back at recent results across multiple wheels without hunting through individual pages.
From the winner dialog itself, you can share the result via your device's native share sheet, copy it to clipboard, or post directly to X, WhatsApp, or Facebook. What gets shared is the winning entry text and the page URL — nothing more.
