A prize wheel draws people over. At a booth or store counter, a big spinning wheel on a screen gets attention, and a small prize gives guests a reason to stop and chat. This tool turns any laptop, tablet or TV into a spin-to-win wheel. Type your prizes, switch to full-screen and you are ready.
The sample list shows common prize tiers for small shops and events: small freebies, discounts, a few no-prize slices and one grand prize. Replace them with what you can actually give away. There is no account to create and nothing is uploaded, so you can set it up in a few minutes on any device with a modern browser.
Setting up prize tiers
Each slice has the same chance of winning. The tool does not support weighted slices, so you control the odds through how many slices each prize gets.
- Add common prizes several times to make them more likely.
- List the grand prize only once.
- Include a few "Try again" or "Thanks for playing" slices.
- Count your stock and remove a prize once it runs out.
Running a fair giveaway
Guests trust a prize wheel when they can see it is honest. Keep the screen facing the crowd so everyone watches each spin. The result is chosen by a crypto random number before the animation starts, so staff cannot influence it with timing. Post the list of prizes and how many slices each one has near the booth. If a prize sells out, update the wheel right away so nobody lands on something you cannot hand over.
Rules worth posting
Simple written rules prevent awkward moments at the table. Check any local laws on giveaways and contests before your event. A short sign can cover the basics:
- One spin per person, or per purchase.
- Prizes cannot be swapped for cash.
- Discount prizes and their expiry dates.
- Who to ask if there is a problem.
Frequently asked questions
Can I make some prizes rarer than others?
Yes, by changing how many slices each prize has. Every slice has an equal chance, so a prize listed four times is four times as likely as one listed once. Put your grand prize on a single slice to keep it rare.
Can I show the prize wheel on a TV?
Yes. Open the page in a browser on a laptop connected to the TV, or on a smart TV browser, and turn on full-screen. Sound can be switched on so guests hear the wheel ticking as it spins.
How do I keep track of who won what?
The results history lists every spin in order. For a busy event, keep a paper sheet with names next to the screen as well. The history stays in this browser tab, so do not close it until the event is over.
Is the prize wheel free for business use?
Yes. There is no fee, no account and no watermark. Your prize list stays in your browser. You are responsible for following any local rules about giveaways and for delivering the prizes on your wheel.
