Do duplicate entries get separate chances?

Yes. Every non-empty line becomes an equal-sized wheel segment. Repeating a value adds another segment with the same label.

How is the winner selected?

The final wheel angle is generated with Math.random after several visual turns, then the option under the pointer is selected. This is suitable for casual choices, not audited drawings or regulated contests.

What does Remove winner do when a label is repeated?

It removes the first matching occurrence only, leaving any other lines with the same text on the wheel.

Does Shuffle change the chance of winning?

No. All segments remain equal. Shuffle only changes their order and colors around the wheel.
