Coin Flip Wheel
One spin of this coin flip wheel lands on Heads or Tails, the two equal slices it starts with.
How to run the coin flip
- State the stakes
Say out loud what Heads wins and what Tails wins before the first spin.
- Rename the sides
Swap the labels for the real outcomes, like Tea and Coffee, when plain words prevent a dispute.
- Spin and follow through
Spin once, read the winning side, and do the thing.
Choose one spin or a best-of-three series before starting so the rule does not change after an unwanted result.
Make the flip worth watching
Rename the slices to the real outcomes, such as You drive and I drive, so the winner needs no translation. Each side holds half the wheel while both stay enabled; a duplicate slice or an Advanced weight edit skews that split.
Streaks are normal. Four Tails in a row does not mean anything is broken; runs like that appear in any random sequence. If a streak bothers anyone, count it out in the local Results history.
Ways to use a Heads or Tails wheel
Use it as a visible tie-breaker for casual choices where either result works.
- Games Who goes first: Assign each side before the spin to choose a first turn, first pick, or starting team.
- Groups Two acceptable activities: Rename the entries for choices such as movie or board game when everyone accepts either option.
- Classrooms Simple probability example: Run a short series to discuss chance and streaks without expecting a small sample to finish perfectly balanced.

Common questions
Is this the same as flipping a real coin?
For casual calls, yes: two enabled slices, each starting with the same chance. It is a browser wheel, not a certified randomness service, so keep it for fun and tie-breaks.
Can I add a third result like Flip again?
Yes. Add a slice named Flip again for suspense; with three enabled slices, each lands about one time in three.
