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.

Boooo! The ghostly apparitions at the Thames Estuary in Kent look like a spooky H.G. Wells scenario. They’re actually abandoned AA platforms on stilts, built in 1942 as anti-aircraft positions. Called Fort Maunsell, the guns fired at German bombers crossing the Channel to attack London and other English targets. For info about sightseeing cruises in the area, go to www.greta1892.co.uk
