Gold Rush is an amusement arcade in the coastal town of Great Yarmouth. It was opened in 2007 in the shell of the former Holkham Hotel.
The work, carried out by the Mavroudis family, led what was once an eyesore on a street corner to a bright family-friendly arcade, a complete diversion from the money-driven trend to which most arcades have fallen into. And most of all, the arcade actually has games.
With a little help from arceast, Gold Rush continues to expand and offer new events to bring people back to the arcade to play.

Christmas is over, 2012 is with us, and Isis is also back from holiday. That means it's time for Gold Rush to reopen for a new year of gaming.
Specific to the machine, there's now a new graphics card in there, which will hopefully alleviate those horrible lag spikes whenever there's a fading background. Also gone are a large number of songs - too many to mention here, but but about 300 got chopped, mostly because nobody played them all year.
I will post some data about the year past in the future, but in the meantime head back down the seafront to get playing again. |

Here at arceast, we don't like doing single-elimination tournaments much. Sure, it's nice and dramatic, but it often means a long journey for little action. And whilst that may be great if you can disappear off in half an hour to do something else, it rather defeats the whole participation objective.

Please to be finding enclosed some form of rule book for Gold Rush Aperture. No, it's not meant to make sense.

The next machine dance tournament will take place on April 2nd 2011. And... it's not even a tournament. Confused? Not as much as we are.

- Modifications were made to the theme, which was actually installed this time.
- There is an indication of a personal best for USB profiles during the evaluation screen.
