The domain name Slots.com has finally been taken off the auction block. Website owner, Christina Hall, had kept her expected price very secret but it appears that the final price rose far beyond industry expectations. Many estimated that the domain name could be worth upwards of $1 million but even industry experts were surprised when they learned that the name sold for a whopping $5.5 million making it one of the ten most expensive domain names ever sold.

The buyer has opted to remain unknown and his identity and the domain is privacy protected so there is no way of knowing who made the purchase. For the moment the registrar of the domain name will not display the owner’s name in a public space and we will have to wait and find out what they plan to do with the site.

More online gambling related domain names are up for auction later this month at the iGaming Super Show May 25^th-28^th and it’s likely that the sale of Slots.com will increase the asking price for many of the names on offer. The conference and exhibition will be held in Prague and registration for the event closes tomorrow so if you’re interested you will need to get in now before it’s too late.

Just a few of the domain names up for grabs include Poker.ca, BlackJackTable.com, PokerLessons.com, SevenCardPoker.com, BlackjackTournaments.com and InternetGames.net.
