You should try for the bags first if you have big Gold, you might get STRENGTH so you can pull items more than 10X faster. Of course if there are Diamonds I always go for them first, if I have to pull or blow up rocks or pull up gold to get to them I will. Don't pay more than $100 for dynamite, around $400 for strength, If I know that there are more than 3 diamonds on the following screen I will pay any price for diamond polish, I never buy Rocks when it is offered, very rarely do I buy luck. Use dynamite wisely...don't waste it on small rocks, they come up fast enough, if you get a big rock & can blow up other rocks as you are pulling it up then use it like that, sometimes I use it on Big Gold if I don't have strength & there are lots of diamonds to be had. Try to stay as high as possible above your goal...I like to get $30,000 ahead & stay there(if you are playing in a tournament stay on top of when you need to get out, if you are so far ahead in $$$ you need enough time to pass through screens before the time runs out). It's not easy but with enough practice you can do it & play the same game for many, many hours! Keep in mind also that this game has a pattern to it...pay attention, then you are prepared for what to buy & what not to buy. Good Luck to all Gold Miners out there...hope to see you around!!!

don't buy anything from the shop unless you need to, always buy strenth drink, and only buy diamond polish when you know theres 3 or more diamonds to get, go for the bags first incase they have strenth in them, never skip a level when you have enough pionts, save as many points as you can on the diamond rounds, because you will need the pionts for later rounds,

i go for the bigger piece of gold first then work towards the rest, and keep playing till the timer runs out even if you met the goal it will help out with point on the next level.

the first ten levels are the same order every time. After that there are a few other variations but the levels repeat in random order. You can only have 5 sticks of dynamite max, no more. There are a few screens where you need the dynamite to blow up rocks in the way. atlernatively there are a few screens where you can get a few good points and then set off tnt to clear away rocks to get at more gems. You'll see them if you are thinking about it. The top players buy the gem polish all the time. The big thing is that when you can get alot of points you must because there are toher subsequent screens where your goal will be unattainable with the available points so you have to have gotten them before that happens. Great game but practice is a must to develop a good 'eye'.  :-)

There are 4 different types of this game and if you land on the right one to begin with, you can really come out on top. Patience, however, is going to be on your side after a while through the first few courses of the game. Practice snagging gold and learn the timing. When you have a chance to buy strength, I recommend it, always. It cuts the following times in half. The $500 pc.s are the about 10 seconds unless they are in the corners(any angle shot), then they are from 13-15 seconds. Naturally, the smaller gold pc.s are coming up faster. I like to keep dynamite on hand because you never know when you're going to miss a shot(until after you click, dang), or need to move something. Diamonds are naturally your money-maker. Buy gem polish, no matter what the cost, if you know the next level has diamonds in it. You will have to learn which levels have diamonds in them, so you may waste some of your loot to begin with. It is not impossible to be up a least $15,000 over the goal by the end of the 10th level.Then you just need to stay ahead. The most I've been ahead was about $35K at around 250,000 and of course, it will fluctuate because of "mistakes". The game is definitely alot more fun when you're ahead(not as much pressure).

Once you begin the game and get past the first three rounds, it becomes redundant, so if you are paying attention to what's going on, you can rack up. There is no way(unless there are "cheats", I don't do it) that anyone can score real big(as in several million dollars) unless you play an extended game which takes DAYS. There are quite a few more hints that are actually even better than this info, and if you would like to contact me, I might be willing to give them to you. I have studied this game well enough that no matter where the game starts, I will restart the game at second level to get the right one to make the most loot. Sooooo, if you need me, let me know.
