Pragmatic Play has expanded the mechanics of its Privé Lounge Blackjack live casino game with two new features. The Face Down Double Down and Split After Split options were introduced on August 11, 2026.
New Gameplay Mechanics
The Face Down Double Down function allows players to double their bet while keeping the final card hidden until the dealer completes their hand. The Split After Split mechanic permits eligible hands resulting from an initial split to be divided again. These updates increase the game's Return to Player (RTP) to 99.51 percent.
The changes complement the existing Privé Lounge series, which provides dedicated VIP hosts and personalized gameplay settings such as dealer changes and shoe reshuffles. The new mechanics follow the Double Down After Split update released last year.
Sharon McHugh, Director of Public Relations at Pragmatic Play, stated that the Face Down Double Down adds suspense to every hand. She noted that Split After Split provides greater strategic freedom while maintaining the classic gameplay structure.
Previously, the supplier launched the game show Color Game Bonanza.
