QIs every capsule equally likely to drop?
Yes. Unlike real gacha games there are no rarity tiers or weighted odds — every capsule has exactly the same chance on every crank.
Gachapon MachineGachapon Name Picker — Free Online Capsule Machine Simulator
A capsule machine in your browser
Gachapon machines — the Japanese capsule-toy vending machines — turn every draw into a tiny event. This online gacha simulator recreates that feeling: every name or option becomes a capsule, you turn the crank, and one capsule tumbles out and pops open.
Use it as a prize draw machine, a random name picker with extra drama, or just for the fun of cranking a gachapon without hunting down coins. It’s free, runs in the browser, and needs no app.

We do not store or upload any participant names to a server, guaranteeing 100% privacy and lightning-fast speed.

Why We Built This
Fun Random Name Picker & Spin Wheel | Making Decisions Fun
We built SpinAName because we believe that a random name picker or decision spin wheel should never feel boring or mechanical. Standard name pickers just output plain text in a cold spreadsheet style. We designed SpinAName to turn everyday random drawings into something that feels like playing a fun built-in mini-game. Whether you are spinning the lucky wheel, drawing mystery cards, twisting the gacha dial, or cheering on your sprinters, our only goal is to make name-picking simple, colorful, and exciting every single time.
If you are looking for an engaging spin the wheel online tool or a flexible name selector, SpinAName is the perfect solution. It is the ideal random choice selector and decision randomizer for teachers looking to boost classroom engagement, event hosts picking lucky draw giveaway winners, or office teams assigning presenters fairly. We provide highly customizable game boards, theme support, real-time name additions, and premium audio-visual effects designed to captivate your audience.
Everything is processed locally on your device for complete privacy and maximum speed, making it the most secure name wheel and drawing tool on the web. Spin A Name is a free, fast, and fully responsive random picker across mobile devices and desktops alike.
