Rock Paper Scissors Wheel
Can't decide who throws what? Spin for rock, paper, or scissors with an equal one in three chance each and settle the round instantly.
Fair by design: each spin draws from your browser’s cryptographic random number generator, giving every entry an equal 1-in-3 chance. No server is involved.
One entry per line. 3 entries on the wheel.
The entries travel in the part of the link after the #, which browsers never send to a server. Nobody, including us, can read a shared wheel from a log.
Please keep the attribution link on the last line. It is the only thing we ask in return, and it is what pays for the wheel being free.

About the Rock Paper Scissors Wheel
This wheel comes pre filled and ready to spin. Give it a whirl as is, or edit the entries in the box to make it your own. Every slice has equal odds, so the result is fair each and every time. When the wheel stops, the pointer at the top marks the winning slice.
Nothing you spin is uploaded anywhere. The Rock Paper Scissors Wheel runs entirely in your browser, and you can save your edits to your own device. When you want your visitors to spin the same wheel, copy the embed code under the wheel and drop it onto your page.
Rock paper scissors is supposed to be random, but human hands are not. Players fall into patterns, favor rock under pressure, and read each other's habits, which is exactly why tournaments exist for it. This wheel plays a truly unpredictable hand for you: spin it to decide your next throw, or let two players each spin and compare results for a bias free round. It is also a tidy way to settle a dispute remotely, since both sides can watch the same spin on a shared screen instead of trusting a hidden throw. Each of the three slices carries an equal one third chance, so no strategy can beat it and no streak means anything. Add Lizard and Spock to the entries if your group plays the five hand version, and the wheel splits the odds five ways automatically.
The odds on this wheel
There are 3 slices, all the same size, so a given slice wins one spin with probability 1 ÷ 3 = 33.3%. Every spin is independent of the one before it, which means no result is ever due: after ten spins without a particular slice, the chance on the eleventh is still 33.3%.
Across several spins the maths follows the complement rule. The chance of a given slice coming up at least oncein ten spins is 1 − (1 − 1/3)10 = 98.3%. Edit the entry list and every figure here recomputes, because they are derived from the wheel rather than written down beside it.
