Pragmatic Play, a leading content supplier to the iGaming industry, has launched Free Bet Blackjack, a dynamic twist on the iconic table game that allows players to Double Down and Split at no extra cost.
The new release introduces an exciting layer to traditional blackjack gameplay, giving players the opportunity to Double Down on totals of 9, 10, and 11, as well as Split on all pairs except 10s, Jacks, Queens, and Kings, without increasing the original bet amount. In certain situations, players can also take advantage of Double Down After Split for free.
These enhancements add strategic depth to every round and unlock greater winning potential, delivering a more distinctive and rewarding live casino experience.
Free Bet Blackjack also features the Push on 22 rule, whereby active player bets are settled as a push if the dealer busts on 22, except for winning blackjack hands. The game includes popular side bets such as Perfect Pairs and 21+3, and accommodates up to seven seats per round.
The launch further strengthens Pragmatic Play’s extensive live blackjack portfolio, which features around 300 tables, advanced Smart Studio customisation technology, and standout titles including Blackjack X, Privé Lounge Blackjack, and Bet Behind Pro Blackjack, all incorporating Double Down After Split functionality.
Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, commented:
“Free Bet Blackjack enhances the classic table game with the introduction of Double Down and Split options at no additional cost to players, giving them more strategic freedom and ways to win.”
With this latest addition, Pragmatic Play continues to expand its live casino portfolio with innovative products designed to deliver enhanced gameplay and player engagement.
