The World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet is one of the most coveted prizes in the poker world. However, the origin of this iconic piece of poker jewelry is not widely known. In 1970, when the WSOP was first held at Binion's Horseshoe Casino in Las Vegas, the main event winner, Johnny Moss, received a silver cup as his prize.
It wasn't until 1976 that the now-famous WSOP bracelet was introduced. This bracelet, designed by Binion's Horseshoe Casino owner Benny Binion, was created as a wearable symbol of poker excellence. The bracelet featured the iconic "Binion's Horseshoe" logo on the front and had the winner's name engraved on the back. Since then, the WSOP bracelet has become a prestigious and recognizable symbol of poker achievement, with numerous variations and designs introduced over the years.
