Juegos means both Games and Gambling in Spanish. I know Juegos.com only sold for $800,000 years ago but that has 5-10 Million potential sale in it some day. Wish I had the money for it back then. Thanks, Jim I would have to say a “gambling” type name would be the most valuable, Poker, Casino, Gambling, Slots, etc.
