Pragmatic Play has expanded the mechanics of Privé Lounge Blackjack with two new gameplay features on 11 August 2026. The live casino provider introduced Face Down Double Down and Split After Split to its premium VIP table offering.
Gameplay Mechanics and RTP Adjustment
Face Down Double Down enables players to double their wager while keeping the final card hidden until the dealer completes their turn. Split After Split allows players to divide eligible hands that were created from an initial split. These additions raise the game's Return to Player percentage to 99.51%.
The Privé Lounge series includes dedicated hosts and personalized settings like dealer changes and extended sessions. Sharon McHugh, Director of Public Relations at Pragmatic Play, noted that the updates deliver a richer experience while preserving the classic rules players expect.
The provider previously added the Double Down After Split update to the game last year.
