Fair Randomness First, Animation Second

The actual winning option is determined immediately using crypto.getRandomValues() the moment you click spin -- the wheel's visual spinning animation is then calculated to land on that already-determined result, rather than the animation itself somehow influencing or determining the outcome. This keeps the fun visual effect without compromising genuine fairness.

Equal Chance Regardless of Segment Size

Whether you have 3 options or 10, each one gets an equal probability of being selected, since the underlying selection is a genuinely random pick from your list, not influenced by how large or small each segment appears visually on the wheel.

Beyond Casual Fun -- Real Decision-Making Use

Group decisions, classroom random selection, or giveaway winner picking all benefit from a visibly fair, engaging way to make a random choice -- the spinning wheel format makes the randomness feel transparent and fun rather than just reading a flat text result.

Frequently Asked Questions

The genuinely random winning segment is determined first, using crypto.getRandomValues(), then the wheel's spin animation is calculated to land precisely on that predetermined segment -- the visual spin is for effect, but the randomness itself happens immediately and fairly, not influenced by where the animation happens to stop.
Yes, add or remove options freely -- the wheel automatically redraws with evenly divided segments matching however many options you've entered.
Yes, since the random selection happens independently of segment size or position, each option has an equal probability of being selected regardless of how the wheel visually divides them.
Group decision-making (where to eat, who goes first), classroom random selection, giveaway winner picking, or just adding a fun visual element to a random choice instead of a plain text result.
No, the animation is purely visual flourish built around an already-determined fair outcome -- it doesn't introduce any bias, since the actual random selection happens through crypto.getRandomValues() before the wheel even starts spinning visually.
