In-room tablets can be game-changers, so to speak, for casino resorts. In addition to guests being able to use in-room tablets for all the more familiar uses—such as requesting services, making reservations, and communicating directly with staff, as they would at any hotel—casino hotels have the added advantage of a fresh, new way to promote gaming, and special events directly to guests while they are most captive.

The rate of smart speaker adoption in the United States does not appear to be slowing, with 57.8 million adults owning at least one smart speaker according to a recent Voicebot.ai survey. Perhaps that's why 79% of hoteliers named voice-enabled technology as a top investment choice for 2019. With voice on command becoming the new on demand, hoteliers attending HITEC Minneapolis next week will be shopping for voice-enabled devices to install in guestrooms for the first time. Volara, the voice hub for the hotel industry, is cautioning hoteliers that embracing these new technologies doesn't mean hoteliers can simply drop consumer-grade products into guestrooms and expect the devices to work successfully in a hotel environment. Installing off-the-shelf voice assistants in guestrooms without the appropriate software overlay adds no value to the guest experience. Rather, it could expose the hotel to liability and guest complaints.
