Pick the Gold is a new iOS and Android game by Voodoo where you use heavy construction equipment to drill down into the ground and mine treasures and minerals. You can earn coins for your mining exploits, dig down to new depths for even better treasure, and being that this is an idle game as well, you can earn lots of offline income. Read on for some tips and tricks for Pick the Gold!
You have two main active upgrades that you can purchase whenever you mine. The oil level controls how long your drill can dig for, while the depth upgrade controls how far down it can go. Always make sure that your oil is at least high enough to match the depth. If you oil is higher than your depth can go, then your equipment will start digging the next row, but if your depth is too low, then your drill will simply stop when the oil runs out.
If you play with an internet connection, then you can watch ad videos for all kinds of upgrades. Especially watch the “free upgrade” videos when they appear. Often they’ll still be there after you finish the video, so you can watch and earn multiple free upgrades in a row for the same spot, up to five for one single spot.
Get the “best spot” bonus three times and on the third time, your earnings will be doubled. Each time that you finish a dig, you can also watch an ad video for double the earnings. So if you get the best spot double bonus and then you watch the 2x ad video at the end, you’ll earn four times the earnings for that specific round.
When you dig far enough, you’ll gain a level, which of course, requires the best combination of oil and depth. Dig down to the new level and you’ll earn huge bonuses by blowing up multiple layers of all three rows below the rock layer. Upgrade your oil heavily before you upgrade the pipe enough to break through the rock layer. Then grind for coins and upgrade the pipe three times, so that you keep digging down and down and down and max out the bonus.
Of course, if you make it to the next depth and are about to get a “best spot” bonus, make sure that you have an internet connection before you begin digging. Combine the new level bonus, the ad video bonus, and the “best spot” bonus all into one round, and you’ll have your most lucrative round in the game that you will ever have, or at least that you’ll have for a very long time.
