Spin the wheel: slices, design and settings

In Spin the Wheel, players spin a wheel of prizes. Spin the Bottle is a variant where a bottle (or another image) in the center spins instead.

The prize is decided by the prize settings, not by chance on the wheel: the wheel always stops on a slice that matches the result. So link every slice to the right prize.

Slices and prizes

1. Click the wheel and open the Content tab.
2. Choose the number of Wheel slices: 2 to 32.
3. Under Slices, choose for each slice what it stands for: one of your prizes, Win, No prize, or Try again (with the add-on below). You can also choose Create new prize.

Design the wheel

Choose the Design mode:

• Editor: design each slice in Scratcher.
• Image upload: upload a finished wheel image. Click Download .psd image template to give your designer a template with the right size and slices.

In Editor mode, click a slice (Click to edit slice) to open Edit slice:

• Background: a Color or an Image, with Image size and Image rotation.
• Layers: add text and image layers. A text layer has Text, Color, Font, Border, Letter spacing, Text curve (to follow the edge of the wheel) and Shadow. Layers snap into place when you drag them.
• Copy design to other slices: choose the Slices and What to copy (Layers and/or Background). The prizes of the other slices stay the same.
• Text layers that follow a curve can use Font width compensation to keep the letters even.
• Right-click or use the object actions to Center horizontally, Center vertically, Move up, Move down, Move to top or Move to bottom. Turn on Guidelines to line things up.

Styles

The Styles tab has four sub-tabs:

• Game: the wheel's Size and Shadow.
• Border: Enable border, its Color and Size.
• Tab: the pointer that shows the winning slice. Enable flipper/tab, choose the Tab type (SVG or Image), and set its Color, Border, Size or Width, Vertical position and Shadow.
• Center: Enable center image, choose the Image, its Size and Rotation, and whether to Spin image with wheel.

Settings

• Spin object: Wheel or Center image (for spin-the-bottle style games).
• Spin direction: Right or Left.
• Wheel rotation offset: turn the wheel so a slice starts at the top.

On the Effects tab you can upload a Spin sound.

Add-ons

• Try again: players who land on a "Try again" slice get another spin. Set the Try again chance, and turn on Update button text to write a new Button text for the second spin.
• Border decoration image: add small images around the border, such as light bulbs. Set the Amount, Size, and Move left / right and Move up / down to place them.

To copy one slice's design to the others, choose All slices or single slices under Slices.

The add-on Border decoration image reads "Add a decorative image around the wheel's border".
