Weighted wheel spinnerSet the odds for every slice
Give each option a weight. A weight of 3 lands three times as often as a weight of 1, and the slice is drawn three times as big, so the odds are never hidden.

A spin wheel with adjustable percentages
A normal spinner gives every option the same chance. This one lets you decide the odds. Each option gets a weight, the wheel draws its slice in proportion, and the table under the wheel tells you the exact percentage before anyone presses spin.
Add your options. Type them one at a time or paste a list. Each gets a slice and a weight of 1.
Set the weights. With Weights on, give the options you want to favour a higher number. The slices resize as you type.
Check the odds. The table under the wheel shows each option as “3 in 20” and as a percentage. Adjust until it matches what you intend.
Spin. Press SPIN or the Space bar. The winner is drawn with those odds and shown in large type.
The maths, in one line
Chance of an option = its weight ÷ the sum of all weights. Four options weighted 1, 3, 6 and 10 add up to 20, so the first lands 1 in 20 spins (5%), the last 10 in 20 (50%). Change any weight and every percentage updates, because the total changes too.
Rigged wheel or weighted wheel?
People search for a “rigged wheel spinner” for two very different reasons. Some want a prank wheel that looks fair and secretly isn’t. Others want a prize wheel where the jackpot is genuinely rarer than the consolation prize, and they want everyone to be able to see that.
This page is built for the second group. Weights change the odds, but the slices are drawn to scale and the odds table sits right under the wheel. There is no hidden mode that lands on one answer while displaying another, because a wheel that lies once is a wheel nobody trusts again. If you want the other kind, this is not it, and we explain why in is a wheel of names rigged?

Six ways people use weighted odds
Each one is a few weights away from the default wheel. The setup line is what to type.
- A prize wheel that pays for itself
- A café or stream wants a wheel where the big prize is rare and the small one common.
- Setup: Grand prize 1 · Gift card 3 · Free coffee 6 · Try again 10. The grand prize lands 5% of the time.
- A raffle with tickets
- People who bought more tickets should have more chance, but everyone should see that it was fair.
- Setup: One entry per person, weight = tickets held. The odds table is the public record.
- Fair turns in a classroom
- Students who have not been picked yet should come up more often than those who have.
- Setup: Start everyone at 2. Each time a student is picked, set them to 1. Reset at the end of the week.
- Chores nobody wants
- The person who did the worst job last week gets a lighter chance this week.
- Setup: Default everyone to 3; last week’s dish-washer gets 1. Visible, so the argument ends.
- Weighted decision between options
- You lean 60/40 toward one choice but want chance to have a say.
- Setup: Option A weight 6, option B weight 4. If the 40% result makes you wince, you have your answer anyway.
- Loot tables and game events
- A tabletop or video game session needs rare, uncommon and common outcomes.
- Setup: Common 60 · Uncommon 30 · Rare 9 · Legendary 1. Same odds as the loot table, but spun in front of the players.

Weighted wheel questions
How do I change the percentage for each option?
Turn on Weights in the options panel and type a number from 1 to 100 next to each option. The chance of an option is its weight divided by the total of all weights, and the table under the wheel shows the exact percentage before you spin.
Can I set exact odds like 70/30?
Yes. Give one option a weight of 7 and the other 3, or 70 and 30, and the wheel is a 70/30 split. Any ratio works, and the slices resize to match.
Is this a rigged wheel?
Only in the open. Weights change the odds, but the slices are drawn to scale, so anyone watching can see which option is favoured. SpinnPick has no hidden mode that lands on one answer while showing another.
Can I make an option land every time?
Almost. Give it a weight of 100 and the others a weight of 1 and it wins about 97% of spins with four options. For a guaranteed result, remove the other options; the wheel never lies about what it did.
Does weighting make the wheel less random?
No. Each spin still comes from the browser’s cryptographic random number generator. Weights only change how much of the wheel each option covers, exactly like a bigger slice on a physical prize wheel.
Can I use it as a raffle with ticket counts?
Yes. Enter each person once and set their weight to the number of tickets they hold. Someone with 5 tickets is five times as likely to win as someone with 1, and the odds table shows everyone their chance.
What happens if I turn Weights off?
Every option goes back to an equal chance, and the wheel becomes a normal spinner. Your weights are kept, so switching Weights on again restores them.
Is the weighted wheel saved?
Yes, in your browser on this device. Options and weights are still there when you come back. Nothing is uploaded and there is no account.
