Action Ways Buffalo is a buffalo-themed slot from SpinPlay Games with a coin collection system at its core. Three different coin types trigger three different free spins modes. Collect multiple coin types at once and all modes combine.
I tested this because the Action Ways mechanic sounded fresh. Different coins evolve the free spins in different ways. Let's see how it plays.

How It Looks on Action Ways Buffalo
Open prairie theme. Buffalo roam beneath wide skies. Distant mountains frame the background.
Symbols include buffalo, eagles, wolves, and natural emblems alongside card values A through 10.
Western-inspired soundtrack. Buffalo snorts add texture. Art direction captures prairie strength and harmony.
Base Game
5x4 grid with 1,024 ways to win in base game.
Wins pay left to right on adjacent reels.
Wilds substitute for regular symbols.
Two parallel collection systems run during base game: Jackpot Coins and Action Ways Coins.
Jackpot Coins Feature
Jackpot Coin symbols can land during base game spins.
Each coin contributes to a random jackpot.
The total contributed value accumulates across all wagers. When a jackpot awards, it resets.
The reset value scales with your current bet. Higher bets mean higher starting jackpots.
Not available during free spins.
Pick Feature
Collecting Jackpot Coins can randomly trigger the Pick Feature.
Standard pick game. Select icons until you match 3 of the same to win the corresponding prize.
When a jackpot awards through the Pick Feature, the contributed value resets.
Cannot trigger from within free spins.
Action Ways Free Spins
This is the main feature.
Three different coin types can land: Purple, Red, and Green.
When Action Ways Coins appear, there's a chance to trigger free spins.
Each coin collects to its matching icon at the top of the screen.
The combination of coins collected when free spins trigger determines which mode you get.
Purple Coin Action Ways
10 free spins.
Each wild that lands reveals a multiplier: 2x, 3x, or 5x.
All ways wins are multiplied by each wild multiplier on that spin.
Multiple wilds mean multipliers stack together.
Red Coin Action Ways
10 free spins.
All low value symbols (A, K, Q, J, 10) removed from reels.
Only high value symbols (buffalo, eagle, wolf, etc.) and wilds appear.
More room for premium symbols means better win potential.
Green Coin Action Ways
10 free spins.
Reels expand:
- Reel 2: 5 rows (from 4)
- Reel 3: 6 rows (from 4)
- Reel 4: 5 rows (from 4)
Ways to win increase from 1,024 to 2,400.
Grid becomes 5-4-5-6-5-4.
More positions mean more winning combinations.
Multiple Coin Action Ways
This is the big one.
If multiple coin types collect when free spins trigger, you get all corresponding features combined.
Purple + Red: Wild multipliers (2x, 3x, 5x) with only high symbols on reels
Purple + Green: Wild multipliers with expanded reels (2,400 ways)
Red + Green: Only high symbols with expanded reels (2,400 ways)
Purple + Red + Green: All three features active. Wild multipliers, only high symbols, AND expanded reels with 2,400 ways.
10 free spins for any combination.
Multipliers from Purple mode apply to all ways wins in combined features.
Jackpots not available during free spins regardless of mode.
What I Liked
- Three distinct free spins modes
- Combining modes creates variety
- Purple + Red + Green = maximum power
- 2,400 ways in Green mode
- 38.87% hit frequency keeps base moving
- 96.49% RTP is solid
- Wild multipliers stack in Purple mode
- Red mode removing lows is effective
- €50 max bet suits most players
- Buffalo theme executed well
What I Didn't Like
- 5,000x max win is modest
- No bonus buy option
- Jackpot system vague (no values specified)
- Pick Feature details unclear
- Medium high volatility won't satisfy high-risk players
- Free spins trigger frequency not provided
- Single coin modes feel underwhelming after combined
My Experience
Tested across 400 spins at €1 bet.
Base game felt steady. 38.87% hit frequency meant roughly 2 in 5 spins hit something. Wins were mostly small from card combinations.
Jackpot Coins landed regularly but never triggered the Pick Feature in my session. No idea how rare that trigger actually is.
Action Ways Coins appeared less frequently. Purple coins showed most often, red and green less so.
Triggered Purple Coin mode three times. Best round hit three wilds with 5x, 3x, and 2x multipliers for a combined 30x multiplier on one spin. Total feature paid 47x.
Hit Red Coin mode once. Removing lows definitely helps, but without multipliers or expanded reels, it felt flat. Paid 23x total.
Never saw Green Coin mode or any combination mode in 400 spins.
Best base game hit was a full screen of buffalo symbols across a wild on reel 3. Paid 42x.
Bankroll Advice
Medium high volatility. Budget moderately.
At €1 bets, I'd want €150 to €200 minimum. That gives 150 to 200 spins to hit features multiple times.
Single coin modes (Purple, Red, or Green alone) deliver modest wins. The real potential lives in combination modes.
If you're chasing Purple + Red + Green combined, expect to grind. I never saw it in 400 spins.
Mobile
Plays smoothly on mobile. Dynamic scaling adapts to different screen sizes.
Coin collection meters sit clearly at the top. All features work well on smaller screens.
Who Should Play This
You'll like it if:
- Buffalo/prairie themes appeal to you
- Medium high volatility suits your style
- Coin collection mechanics interest you
- Multiple feature variations keep things fresh
- Western soundtracks work for you
- 1,024 to 2,400 ways appeal
Skip it if:

- Simpler mechanics appeal more
- You want frequent big hits
My Rating: 3.5/5
Interesting Action Ways mechanic, three distinct modes, good RTP. Modest max win and unclear jackpot system keep it from scoring higher. Solid mid-volatility option for buffalo fans.
