I know of no glitchs to get gold, however going to padres where the limit is raised to 500, and playing blackjack, and using cheat cards efficiently can earn you alot of gold fast.
Here is an excellent guide on cheating in blackjack (with cheat cards)

You can use cheat cards to get any hand you want, including blackjacks, I do it all the time.
You only get caught if you use card that is already been played or is played on the same hand after you play yours. The dealer "sees" 2 of the same card, and therefore catchs you cheating.
