Pragmatic Play Upgrades Premium Blackjack

Pragmatic Play, the content supplier to the iGaming industry, has enhanced its premium live casino portfolio with the introduction of two gameplay features exclusively for Privé Lounge Blackjack, delivering greater strategic depth and heightened suspense to its VIP tables.

Face Down Double Down and Split After Split build upon the authentic land-based blackjack experience, giving players new ways to approach every hand while preserving the exclusivity that defines Privé Lounge.

Face Down Double Down adds an extra layer of anticipation, allowing players to double down without revealing their final card until the dealer has completed their hand. Split After Split allows eligible hands created from an initial split to be split again, giving players more strategic options and increasing the game’s RTP to 99.51%.

Designed for those seeking a first-class blackjack experience, the Privé Lounge series offers dedicated VIP hosts, highly trained dealers, and personalised gameplay options, including dealer changes, extended sessions and shoe reshuffles.

The new features build on last year’s Double Down After Split update, combining familiar land-based blackjack rules with innovative gameplay enhancements, further strengthening Pragmatic Play’s premium live casino offering.

Sharon McHugh, Director of Public Relations at Pragmatic Play, said: “Privé Lounge Blackjack has delivered a truly premium experience from day one, combining personalised service with elegant gameplay.

“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.”
