When Michael Thommason 
put it up for sale earlier this month, the prospect of taking hold of the world’s largest video game collection probably seemed like a tall order for gamers lacking the necessary funds or storage space. But one had the luck and $750,250 necessary to take home the prize.
According to an update on GameGavel, the site where Thommason first posted his Guinness World Record-certified collection in early June, the auction for his 11,000-plus games ended with a winning bid just over three-quarters of a million dollars.cnx.cmd.push(function(){cnx({"playerId":"e3616d04-4972-4839-a63a-c6975e2e9731","settings":{"advertising":{"macros":{"AD_UNIT":"/23178111854/od.kotaku.com/article","CHILD_UNIT":"article","POST_ID":"1592128293","POST_TYPE":"post","CHANNEL":"uncategorized","SECTION":"","SUBSECTION":"","CATEGORIES":"uncategorized","TAGS":"","NOP":"0"},"timeBeforeFirstAd":0}}}).render("cnx-player-main")}); That’s a lot of money, no doubt.

The variety of games is excellent, including table games like blackjack, roulette, and baccarat, in addition to slots. This keeps the platform interesting and allows me to switch games depending on my mood. The progressive jackpots are thrilling, and it's exciting to watch the jackpot amounts grow as more players spin the reels. I hope they add even more jackpot slots because it adds a lot of excitement to the gameplay.
