It looks like the owner of gambling domain Slots.com hit the jackpot… literally. A multi-day auction for the domain ended today. The winner bought the name for an astounding $5.5 million USD. It ties with Casino.com for the seventh most expensive domain ever sold and is the largest sale so far this year.

The buyer is currently unknown, but given the high sale price, it was likely a big player in the online gambling scene. Slots.com was first registered in 1995 and receives around 15,000 unique visitors per month.

The slow sales trend of last week seems to be continuing on into this week. Topping all other recent sales is PokerBonus.com, which just sold at auction for £51,851.

A number of ccTLDs have also sold as of late:

blackcard.es- €9,000
europalace.eu- €7,000
direkt-versicherung.de- €7,000
auberges.fr- €6,000
zazzle.com.ar- $5,500
ftp.co.uk- £2,050

One big surprise here is the sale of ftp.co.uk for only £2,050. Personally, I think the name is worth 10x the auction price. Not only is it just a three-letter domain, but FTP is a common Internet term. Millions of people use FTP to upload data to the web each day. A number of develops make big bucks selling FTP clients as well.
