Lots of poker players enjoy sit and go's because they're quick, relatively cheap and exciting. And William Hill Poker is adding yet another reason for players to enjoy these single-table tournaments by offering Progressive Jackpot SNG's.

There are four types of these SNG's in Fort Knox, Rio, Maui and Dirty Dozen. Each one offers a different starting jackpot size and buy-in, and entry fees remain the same no matter how large a jackpot gets. At the time of this writing, the four progressive prizes total $194,500!

As for unlocking the jackpots, you need to win a designated number of SNG's in a row. Assuming you can accomplish this feat, you not only get the winnings for the tournaments, but also the available progressive jackpot. With the basics out of the way, let's take a closer look at each of the Jackpot SNG's.
