Here is a $1 slot token from the Money Factory - Club M Casino in Hanoi, Vietnam, it is slightly larger than a U.S. quarter. This was the only casino we found in Vietnam that used tokens. The names that they use for the casino are hard to follow. The casino was located in the Melia Hanoi hotel, run by the same company the runs the two Melia casinos in Puerto Rico. The sign on the outside at the entrance to the casino said Money Factory - Club M. The casino is on the 2nd floor of an office building that is attached to the Melia Hanoi hotel where we stayed. The outside sign looked like the coaster. The business card I took from inside the casino says: Star Dust E-Gaming Club. And the $1 Slot Token says: Club Flamingo e-Gaming. So which is it? Money Factory, Club M, Star Dust E-Gaming Club or Club Flamingo e-Gaming? Take your pick.

By the way, we were only a couple of blocks away from the infamous former N. Vietnam POW prison that was called the Hanoi Hilton. Senator John McCain was imprisoned there after his plane was shot down over Hanoi during the Vietnamese War. He landed in a lake with both of his arms broken from the ejection from his plane and the landing. He was rescued from the lake by some fishermen. And then had to be rescued again by the police after the locals started to beat him. There is a monument by the lake noting the rescue site. It was pretty eerie visiting the "Hanoi Hilton". Prior to the war, it was used as a prison and was infamous then for the severe treatment of the prisoners and the high death rates. It is now closed and mostly demolished. A small part remains as a museum.
