This mode is a one-time random decision picker. When the user hits the “done” button, the randomizer wheel will reveal the outcome they have chosen. The chosen outcome won’t have any negative effects, like being hidden.

Use Case 1

In a situation where it functions similarly to a digital prize wheel, this could be utilized as a random name Picker Wheel. After the wheel is spun, one winner will be selected from the list of contestants. For more involved exercises, you can also utilize the wheel in conjunction with a countdown timer.

12.3. Accumulation Mode

It is a technique of accumulation of random decisions. Each chosen input’s count is added up and carried over to the following spin.

Use Case 3
