Frozen Fruit by BGaming is the most mechanically unusual pokie on the Waboom77 platform. Before the bonus round even starts, you're presented with a spinning wheel that lets you configure how the feature runs — how many free spins, how many simultaneous reel sets, and what multiplier applies. Most players spin past this screen without understanding what they're choosing. That decision costs or saves real money. This page explains the Pre-Bonus Wheel step by step, the Wild Rain mechanic, and what the 6,600x max win actually requires to hit.
How does Frozen Fruit work?
The base game is a standard 5×3 grid with 10 fixed paylines. Scatters landing on reels 1, 3, and 5 simultaneously trigger the Pre-Bonus Wheel — not the bonus itself, but a configuration screen. Three separate wheels spin to determine: the number of free spins (1 to 6), the number of simultaneous reel screens (1 to 6), and a win multiplier (1 to 6). From there, two options appear: Respin All (rerolls all three values at no cost) and Add Extra (pays a set amount to increase any one value by 1). Once you confirm, the bonus launches with your chosen configuration — all active reel sets spin independently and wins combine before the multiplier is applied.
Wild Rain is the bonus's premium event: random wilds are added to all active screens during any spin. If 5 wilds land on a single screen, the game pays 500x your stake directly, regardless of other wins. The max win of 6,600x is achieved by running 6 screens simultaneously with a 6x multiplier and landing Wild Rain combinations — a rare alignment but mathematically possible.

The Pre-Bonus Wheel — what to do when it appears
This is where most players lose value. The three wheels land on random values — say, 3 spins / 2 screens / 4x multiplier. You have three choices at that point: accept the configuration, hit Respin All (free, rerolls everything), or use Add Extra to purchase an improvement to one value. Add Extra costs roughly 20x your bet for +1 Screen and around 30x your bet for +1 Multiplier — these are approximate figures that scale with stake. The maths: adding one screen doubles the number of reel sets spinning simultaneously, which doubles the combined win potential before the multiplier. Adding one multiplier point increases the overall multiplier by one step.
Respin All is the correct play when all three values are low — especially if the screen count is 1 or 2. Running 6 screens with a 1x multiplier is more valuable than 2 screens with a 6x multiplier for the same total stake, because more simultaneous reel sets create more opportunities for Wild Rain. If the wheel lands on 1 screen and 1x multiplier, hit Respin All — it costs nothing and the downside is landing on the same poor configuration again. Use Add Extra only when two of the three values are already high and one is significantly pulling the configuration down.
Author's tip from Lachlan Reid, Casino Content Editor & Player Safety Analyst: "Run the demo before touching real money on Frozen Fruit. Trigger the Pre-Bonus Wheel a few times so you understand what Respin All does and what the wheel values mean in practice. The bonus is visually overwhelming when 6 reel sets spin simultaneously — seeing it in demo mode first means you won't panic-accept a poor configuration when real money is on the line."
Is Frozen Fruit worth playing over a standard pokie?
It depends on what you want from a session. The Pre-Bonus Wheel adds genuine player agency — a rare thing in pokies where outcomes are entirely RNG-driven. That interactivity makes it more engaging for players who find standard spin-and-wait pokies passive. The trade-off is complexity: the mechanic requires attention during the bonus, not just watching reels spin. At 96.00% RTP and high volatility, the base game hit frequency of 18.18% means long stretches between wins. Bankroll at minimum 50x your spin value. Bonus Buy at 100x stake is available for AU players, which skips directly to the Pre-Bonus Wheel if you'd rather not wait for a natural trigger.
