What was more of a gamble than leaving home to strike it rich? As if daily life on the frontier wasn’t enough of a gamble, many miners enjoyed trying their luck at games of chance. “Mining the Miners” is a fun day of games, as well as some of the “buyer beware” culture of the Gold Rush era. Poker and roulette are familiar to us today, but have you played Faro, three-card monte, or chuck-a-luck? You’ll be able to pan for gold to get a “stake” and some local currency Can you win enough to buy your supplies at the trading post? Eggs cost one dollar each! One bad poker hand could wipe out the dreams for prosperity and happiness. Other games, such as ring-toss, are suitable for younger visitors, and everyone is a winner!
