The free-to-play World Series of Poker mobile game developed by Playtika has added a new Blackjack mode to its platform, expanding the range of games available within the application. The update introduces a free-to-play Blackjack experience that became available within the WSOP mobile game beginning March 11, 2026.
The new mode includes Poker Power Jackpot, a side bet that pays based on a three-card poker hand formed from the player’s first two cards and the dealer’s upcard. The feature integrates poker hand rankings into the traditional Blackjack format, combining elements of both games within a single gameplay structure.
Players using the platform will also encounter Sofia, a newly introduced in-game Blackjack dealer. The character appears as a component of the Blackjack mode and accompanies the gameplay within the updated feature.
The addition of Blackjack expands the selection of games currently offered within the WSOP mobile platform. Existing gameplay options include Texas Hold’em, Omaha, and other poker variants, as well as tournaments that run throughout the day.
Guy Ceder, General Manager of WSOP, said: “Blackjack is one of the most recognised casino games globally and we’re excited to bring it to our players as another way to enjoy the WSOP experience. We’re always looking for ways to expand the entertainment value of the game and respond to what our players want to see in the app.
“With Poker Power Jackpot as the main side bet and the introduction of Sofia as the dealer, this mode combines traditional blackjack with elements of poker, offering players a fresh and high-engagement experience.”
The Blackjack mode can be accessed through the WSOP free-to-play game on web browsers as well as on iOS and Android devices. The game is available through the App Store, Google Play, and the official site PLAYWSOP.com, where users can play the game at no cost.
