Pragmatic Play Adds Two New Features to Privé Lounge Blackjack

Pragmatic Play has expanded its premium live casino lineup with two new gameplay features available exclusively at Privé Lounge Blackjack tables. The additions are designed to give VIP players more strategic depth and a stronger sense of suspense during play.

The first feature, Face Down Double Down, lets players double their bet while keeping the extra card concealed until the dealer has completed their hand. The second, Split After Split, allows eligible hands resulting from an initial split to be split once more, offering additional tactical routes and lifting the game's return-to-player rate to 99.51%.

Privé Lounge is pitched as a high-end blackjack experience, featuring dedicated VIP hosts, professionally trained dealers, and customisable options such as dealer changes, extended sessions, and shoe reshuffles. The new features follow last year's introduction of Double Down After Split and reinforce Pragmatic Play's efforts to blend classic land-based rules with modern live casino mechanics.

Sharon McHugh, Director of Public Relations at Pragmatic Play, said the update enhances both engagement and strategic control. "Together, they deliver a richer blackjack experience while remaining true to the classic gameplay that players know and enjoy."
