Prize Wheel Spinner
Spin to Win
Put your prizes on the wheel instead of names. Spin it on a tablet at an event booth, on the classroom board for rewards, or on stream. Remove each prize as it's won so the wheel always shows what's left.
Ways to Use a Prize Wheel
A spinning prize wheel draws a crowd and makes small rewards feel exciting.
Trade Show & Event Booths
Visitors spin once for a giveaway item. Load the prizes you actually have in stock and remove them as they run out.
Classroom Rewards
Let a student who earned a reward spin for extra recess minutes, a homework pass, or choosing the class read-aloud.
Live Streams
Spin for viewer rewards or channel-point redemptions while everyone watches the result.
Office Parties
Spin for raffle-style prizes at a holiday party or team celebration.
Shop Promotions
Run an in-store spin for small discounts or freebies (check local promotion rules first).
Fundraisers
A prize wheel at a school fair or charity event is a simple, visible game of chance for donated prizes.
Setting Up Your Prize Wheel
List Your Prizes
Type or paste one prize per line. Use the real prizes you have available, including any "Try again" or consolation slots.
Adjust the Odds
Every slice has the same chance. To make a prize rarer, add more of the other entries; to make it more common, list it more than once.
Spin & Remove
After each spin, click "Remove & Spin" if that prize is gone. "Restore removed" puts everything back for the next event.
How to Work Out the Odds
The chance of landing on a prize is simply the number of slices with that prize ÷ the total number of slices. Each slice is equally likely—NameWheels picks the result with an unbiased random number before the wheel starts turning.
The sample wheel above has 10 slices, two of which are "Try again", so a spin has a 2 in 10 (20%) chance of "Try again" and a 1 in 10 (10%) chance of the grand prize. Add three more "Try again" slices and the grand prize drops to 1 in 13 (about 7.7%).
If you remove prizes as they're won, the odds change as the wheel shrinks. That's usually what you want at an event—people can only win what's still available.
