Why a wheel beats a coin flip
A coin handles two options; a wheel handles up to 24 with the same fairness. Under the hood every spin picks a random final angle — four to six full turns plus a random offset — and the segment under the pointer when the wheel stops is the winner. The suspenseful slow-down is pure animation: the outcome is fixed the moment you click spin, and the spin length or timing cannot bias it.
Teachers use wheels for picking students, streamers for viewer giveaways, families for chore assignment and restaurant choices. For elimination-style games, remove each winner from the list between spins — the history panel keeps track of who has already been picked.
