Fort Knox is a Sit 'n Go tournament that has a starting prize
fund of $50,000 that increases every
week until a player wins six consecutive tournaments and lands the
jackpot. With over $6.5 million given
away in its five-year history, Fort Knox is one of iPoker's most
popular jackpots.
The William Hill player, nicknamed isKioN1, commented: 'I
started playing the Fort Knox SNG because it was profitable from
the beginning. Not only can you win the first prize but also second
prize, which is won easier and more frequently. I will continue
playing both the Rio and Fort Knox, as they have the biggest
jackpot prizes.'
