Pragmatic Play, a leading content supplier to the iGaming industry, has launched Free Bet Blackjack, a dynamic take on the iconic table game, enabling players to Double Down and Split at no extra cost.

Adding a new dynamic to the traditional game, Free Bet Blackjack gives players the opportunity to Double Down on totals of 9, 10 and 11, as well as Split on all pairs except 10s, Jacks, Queens and Kings, with no change to the original bet amount. And in certain circumstances, players will be able to Double Down After Split for free.

These game enhancements add a new strategic layer to every round and unlock greater winning potential, delivering a more distinctive and rewarding live casino experience.

Free Bet Blackjack features the Push on 22 rule, which sees active player bets settled as a push if the dealer busts on 22, except for winning blackjack hands. Players can also enjoy popular side bets, including Perfect Pairs and 21+3, as well as have up to seven seats per round.

Free Bet Blackjack further strengthens Pragmatic Play’s diverse live blackjack offering, which includes around 300 tables, advanced Smart Studio customisation technology, and standout titles such as Blackjack X, Privé Lounge Blackjack, and Bet Behind Pro Blackjack – all featuring Double Down After Split.

Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “Free Bet Blackjack enhances the classic table game with the introduction of Double Down and Split options at no additional cost to players, giving them more strategic freedom and ways to win.”
