Spin the Wheel Hire – Frequently Asked Questions
What is Spin the Wheel?
Our Spin the Wheel is a simple, exciting and instantly recognisable prize game that's perfect for attracting attention and engaging guests at events.
Players simply spin the wheel and wait for it to stop on one of the sections to reveal their prize, result or challenge.
It's particularly popular for exhibitions, brand activations, product launches, conferences, retail promotions and corporate events.
How do you play Spin the Wheel?
Playing couldn't be easier.
Simply spin the wheel and watch it rotate until the pointer eventually stops on one of the sections.
Whatever is displayed on that section determines the player's prize, result or challenge.
Can we choose what goes on the wheel?
Yes. The wheel can be customised around your event or promotion.
Sections could feature:
This makes Spin the Wheel extremely versatile for different types of campaigns.
How many sections can the wheel have?
The wheel can be configured with different numbers of sections depending on how you want to run your activation.
Options can include 4, 8, 16 or 32 sections, giving you control over the number of different outcomes available.
Can different sections have different prizes?
Absolutely. Each section can represent a different prize, giveaway, offer or outcome.
For example, you could have a mixture of premium prizes, smaller giveaways and non-winning sections depending on how you'd like the promotion to work.
Can we control the chances of winning?
The number and layout of prize sections can be designed around your promotion.
For example, if you want one particular prize to be more difficult to win, it can appear on fewer sections of the wheel. Alternatively, smaller prizes can appear more frequently.
Can the prize sections be changed during the event?
We can offer changeable magnetic prize sections where required.
This is particularly useful for activations where prize availability changes throughout the day or where you want to run different competitions using the same wheel.
Can Spin the Wheel be branded?
Yes. Spin the Wheel is one of our most popular games for custom corporate branding.
The wheel face, individual prize sections and other areas of the setup can be customised with your company logo, brand colours, campaign artwork, products and promotional messaging.
All physical branding is professionally printed and applied in-house by JM Entertainment.
Can every section of the wheel be individually branded?
Yes. Individual sections can feature their own prize, message, product or graphic.
This allows the wheel itself to become part of your campaign rather than simply adding a company logo to a standard game.
Can you create the artwork for us?
Yes. Our team can create bespoke artwork around your company, campaign, product or event theme.
Alternatively, we can provide the relevant artwork specifications for your own marketing team, designer or event agency.

Depending on availability and your chosen setup, additional lighting options may be available to give the Spin the Wheel even greater visual impact.
Please speak to our team if you'd like lighting incorporated into your activation.

Our standard manual Spin the Wheel does not require electricity to operate, making it particularly easy to incorporate into exhibition stands and event spaces.
If additional powered features or lighting are requested, access to a suitable power supply may be required.

Absolutely. Spin the Wheel is ideal for prize giveaways and promotional campaigns.
Players can spin to determine exactly what they win, creating anticipation and making the giveaway itself part of the event experience.
