Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can receive a first user-provided topic among a plurality of user-provided topics. Topic-based information related to the first user-provided topic is received. The first user-provided topic is assigned to a first game wheel segment among a plurality of game wheel segments. The plurality of game wheel segments define a game wheel. The first user-provided topic is selected based on a spinning of the game wheel. A problem based on the topic-based information is presented.

A method and an arrangement for the operation of a prize wheel by a user. The position of the center of gravity and the position of a hand of the user are ascertained using a camera; a height threshold is fixed in relation to the center of gravity; if the position of the hand exceeds the height threshold, a rotation phase is started, the rotation which is carried out by the movement of the hand of the user is continuously ascertained, and a rotational angle is ascertained; the angular speed, i.e. the rate of change over time of the ascertained angle, is determined; the rotation phase is ended, and an angular speed, is fixed as the initial rotational speed; and a free rotation phase is started. The prize wheel is further rotated, and the prize wheel is continuously braked and comes to rest upon a specified end position.

Gaming machines and games are configured with one or more wheel events or features. The wheel events or features may comprise main games or bonus games, or may comprise entertaining representations of outcomes of other games or events. The wheel events comprise the selection of one or more segments of a wheel having associated awards. Wheel events may have various entertaining configurations, such as morphing wheels, symbols that reveal awards and the like.

This disclosure relates generally to gaming equipment and/or accessories, such as dice and dice spinners. In various aspects, disclosed dice spinners include a housing having a top and a bottom, the top defining one or more windows, and a spinner housed within the housing, the spinner having a locking mechanism and at least one dice disk. Disclosed dice spinners may further include a crown in mechanical communication with the spinner such that applying pressure to the crown causes the spinner to spin and display one or more numbers through the one or more windows of the housing.

An amusement game is characterized by a wheel mounted for rotation in a vertical plane on a support member and a control arm to rotate the wheel which also has a plurality of prize containers at winning positions located at angular positions around the wheel wherein each of the containers has a radial passage that may align with a winning position and in alignment with a prize distribution area so when the wheel stops at a winning location, a prize retainer member is moved out of the passage allowing a prize in the container to drop from the wheel to the prize distribution area.

A game wheel, including a rotating assembly and splicing blocks, the rotating assembly has a first side and a second side. The splicing blocks are detachably connected to the rotating assembly, and two adjacent splicing blocks are detachably connected. The first locking assemblies are fixed on the plurality of splicing blocks, and each of the first locking assemblies comprises an accommodating space. The second locking assemblies are fixed on the splicing blocks. When two adjacent splicing blocks are connected to each other, a protruding part of one of the two adjacent splicing blocks is at least partially inserted into an accommodating space of another one of the two adjacent splicing blocks, and the protruding part is cooperated with a wall forming the accommodating space to restrict a relative movement. The game wheel has a simple structure and is easy to disassemble and store.
