WHAT IT DOES

What is a coin flip wheel?

A coin flip wheel is a two-option random picker that produces a heads-or-tails result.

Assign one acceptable choice to heads and another to tails, keep both options equally weighted, and spin for a visible result. It is most useful for simple, low-stakes choices—not decisions involving safety, money, health, or serious consequences.
