spinner wheel

Rotating selection tool

A spinner wheel is a circular device divided into segments that can be spun to land on a random selection—used in games, decision-making, or prize drawings.

The classic board game spinner is one type; digital versions appear on websites and apps for contests or random choices: We used a spinner wheel to decide where to eat.

Also called a spinning wheel or prize wheel, though spinning wheel more often refers to the textile tool.
