Pragmatic Play has pumped up blackjack: now you can do Double after Split
Pragmatic Play's New Live Blackjack Update: Double After Split Now Available
Pragmatic Play has quietly but aptly updated its live blackjack tables with the Double Down After Split option. What does this mean in simple terms? If you've split cards – for example, you get two eights or deuces – you can now double down on one or both of these hands.

- Speed Blackjack
- Private Lounge Blackjack
For those who play regularly or use strategies, this is quite a serious innovation. In the classic rules of blackjack, the ability to do a Double after a Split is considered the standard, and its absence in live versions was often annoying.
In some scenarios, doubling down after a split isn't just "convenience," it's the key to optimal play. For example, if you split deuces and get a nine to one of them, the ideal move is Double. Without this option, you'd just draw a card and that's it.

In addition, emotionally, it adds more excitement and freedom: players can be more flexible, adapt to the situation, and not feel limited by the framework of "stripped-down rules".
And it's trivially nice that Pragmatic Play doesn't give up on its live products and continues to develop them — not only releasing slots, but also improving card games. It's especially nice to see improvements in the direction of expanding the capabilities of players, and not another cut in the RTP.



OlakTHEPolak As for me, it's high time. The Internet is polluted with these gray sites. I don't want my kids to stumble upon casinos on TikTok!



SYLversters Oh may, does it all really work? I thought those 5 scatters were like seeing the Loch Ness Monster on stream


YellowPikmin Yes, I remember the Avengers slot... I caught such drifts there. I still regret that I did not take a screenshot, now you can't prove it.



AccurateShark28 And I bet on six different WTA matches – I won $180 with $10. But there are few days like this :)


thekidgamer52 PSG are really like a tank now. But finals are always nerves. Too often, the favorites fly from the "outsiders". I would take Inter with a handicap, the odds are good, the risk is justified.

Now that's great!
