The Start of a Tradition

[user67765]

Who will capture the first ever Aussie Millions gold ring?

The winner of today's opening event will have the honour of being the first player ever to be awarded an official Aussie Millions gold ring.

The rings are a new innovation at this year's Aussie Millions. They represent the prestige of winning a coveted Aussie Millions title, similar to that of a World Series of Poker bracelet.

Produced by Poker Allure, these solid gold rings are valued at AU$5,000 each and are added value to the prize pool of each of the preliminary Championship events. The winner of the 2009 Aussie Millions Main Event will receive a gold bracelet valued at AU$20,000.

The rings are quite an impressive sight. If you venture down to the Aussie Millions over the next few weeks you can view them on display in the cabinet at the entrance to the Crown Poker Room.

We may indeed witness the start of a tradition here this evening.
