Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Step1
Learn to love change. In Gold Miner Vegas, the gameplay changes up from time to time, forcing you to adapt. Your mining cart (or similar vehicle) won’t always move and sometimes it moves without your approval. Some critters carry your loot off and at some point, you’ll go fishing. But hey, change is good!
Step2
Get the thieves quickly. In some levels, industrious dingos (or other native critters) will attempt to make off with your treasure! Snag them quickly before they carry off all the goods.
Step3
Go for the Gem Combinations. In certain levels, you will have the opportunity to collect a set of different-colored gems. They’re not worth much individually, but together, they’re worth a ton. If you see these colored gems, snag them quickly. In some cases, they may be the only way to complete a level without having a gigantic lead.
Step4
Always buy the Stopwatch! This adds 15 seconds to the time available for you to prospect. No matter how much it costs, this is always a worthwhile investment.
Step5
Keep at it. Unlike previous games, failed levels in Gold Miner Vegas just restart the level instead of the entire game. If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.
Step6
Play online with a friend. Gold Miner Vegas lets you compete with a friend online. If you think you’ve got what it takes to match skills with a fellow player, give it a try!
