Pragmatic Play, a prominent provider in the iGaming sector, has upgraded its premium live casino offering by launching two new gameplay features for Privé Lounge Blackjack. These enhancements—Face Down Double Down and Split After Split—are designed to enrich the experience for players at VIP tables, adding new strategic elements and increasing excitement.
The Face Down Double Down feature introduces a thrilling twist, allowing players to double down on a hand without disclosing their final card until after the dealer has finished playing. Meanwhile, the Split After Split option enables hands that arise from an initial split to be split once more, thereby offering players greater strategic flexibility. This enhancement also raises the game's return-to-player (RTP) percentage to 99.51%, further enticing blackjack enthusiasts.
Sharon McHugh, Director of Public Relations at Pragmatic Play, emphasized the quality of the Privé Lounge experience, stating, “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.”
Geared towards those seeking an elite blackjack experience, the Privé Lounge series provides specialized VIP hosts alongside highly trained dealers, as well as personalized gameplay features such as dealer changes, extended gaming sessions, and shoe reshuffles.
This latest update builds on the Double Down After Split feature introduced last year, reinforcing Pragmatic Play's commitment to blending traditional blackjack rules with innovative gameplay improvements, thereby enhancing its high-end live casino portfolio.
