New Taiwan Hotel Rooms Are Miniature Casinos


Gone are the days of the one-armed bandit and other coin-operated mechanical machines. Today’s casinos feature all kinds of electronic slots that give you colorful displays while taking in many of your paper dollars. However, things they are a’changing!

The newly opened, five-star i-Hotel  in Taouan claims to be the world’s first total e-gambling mecca. Each guest room is equipped as a mini-casino, with two multi-purpose computers featuring electronic versions of the traditional casino slot machines, as well as fun computer games, movies and regular TV programs.

There are also computerized gambling machines in the super-modern hotel lobby and other areas of the luxury destination. Quoted room rates are listed from about $50 a night.

We all know it’s customary to tip cabbies, waiters, bellhops, bartenders and all the usual service people. Have you ever wondered about others encountered in your travels who may also deserve your consideration?

Some examples are airline desk employees, hotel clerks, kind strangers who give you directions in foreign cities, street performers, gallery guards, police, delivery guys and others. They're people who perform a good deed for you who don’t ordinarily get a tip.

They sometimes at first refuse, but when you smile and say their next lunch is on you, they may accept. And you’ll feel good about doing a good deed.
