The update introduces Face Down Double Down and Split After Split, expanding strategic options across its VIP blackjack tables.
Pragmatic Play has expanded its premium live casino portfolio with two new gameplay features for Privé Lounge Blackjack, its VIP-focused blackjack offering.
The new mechanics, Face Down Double Down and Split After Split, are designed to provide players with additional strategic options and introduce new elements of suspense while maintaining traditional blackjack rules.
With Face Down Double Down, players can double down without revealing their final card until the dealer has completed their hand. Meanwhile, Split After Split allows eligible hands created from an initial split to be split again. The feature increases the game’s RTP to 99.51%.
Privé Lounge Blackjack is positioned as a premium live casino experience featuring dedicated VIP hosts, highly trained dealers and personalised gameplay options, including dealer changes, extended sessions and shoe reshuffles.
The new features build on Pragmatic Play’s Double Down After Split update, introduced last year, combining traditional land-based blackjack rules with additional gameplay mechanics.
Sharon McHugh, Director of Public Relations at Pragmatic Play, said the update aims to introduce new possibilities while maintaining the fundamentals of classic blackjack.
“Face Down Double Down adds a new level of suspense to every hand, while Split After Split gives players greater strategic freedom and improves their potential edge. Together, they deliver a richer blackjack experience while remaining true to the classic gameplay that players know and enjoy.”
The update further expands Pragmatic Play’s premium live casino offering, adding new gameplay mechanics to products aimed at high-value player segments.
