Pick a number between 1 and 6
This wheel has the numbers 1 to 6, each one sixth of the wheel, so every number has a 1 in 6 chance (about 16.7%) on every spin. That makes it a fair stand-in for a six-sided die.
Use it when you have lost the dice from a board game, when you need a quick random choice from six, or when you want to assign numbers to six people or options.
Each spin is independent, so the same number can come up twice. For a no-repeat order, turn on "Retire winners" and spin until all six numbers are gone.

Questions
Is this the same as rolling a die?
The odds are the same: 1 in 6 for each number. A wheel is spun rather than rolled, but every number is equally likely.
What is the chance of getting a 6?
One in six, about 16.7%, the same as every other number.
Can I roll two dice?
Spin twice and add the numbers, or use two separate spins as two dice.
Can I use it for a board game?
Yes. It is a quick replacement for a six-sided die in any game that asks for a roll.
