Claim:
1. A method for operating a wheel of fortune by a user, wherein a camera is used to establish the position of the center of mass of the body and of a hand of the user, setting an upper height threshold to a predetermined value in relation to the center of mass of the body, wherein, when the position of the hand exceeds the upper height threshold, a turning phase is started, during which turning phase the position of the wheel of fortune is coupled to the position of the hand and the position of the hand is established continuously, continuously determining the movement performed by the movement of the hand of the user and establishing a turning angle (α), continuously determining an angular velocity (ω), which is the rate of change of the established angle (α) over time, completing the turning phase depending on a threshold value and determining the angular velocity (ω) as an initial turning velocity (ω starting a free rotational phase after the end of the turning phase, wherein the further turning of the wheel of fortune is performed with the initial turning velocity (ω setting a further height threshold to a predetermined value below the center of mass of the body, and when the turning phase is completed, starting the free rotational phase when the position of the hand drops below the further height threshold.
