Pragmatic Play adds Face Down Double Down and Split After Split to Privé Lounge Blackjack

Pragmatic Play has updated its premium live casino product Privé Lounge Blackjack with two new gameplay features, Face Down Double Down and Split After Split, the supplier said.

The additions are exclusive to Privé Lounge Blackjack. Face Down Double Down lets players double down without revealing their final card until the dealer has completed their hand, while Split After Split allows eligible hands created from an initial split to be split again. Pragmatic Play said the changes increase the game’s RTP to 99.51%.

The company said the features build on its Double Down After Split update introduced last year and are intended to align the VIP-focused blackjack product with familiar land-based rules while adding new options.

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."
