Gaming system for automated blackjack detection and electronic notification

A system comprising:

• one or more electronic indicators;
• and
• one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute instructions, which when executed cause the system to perform operations to:
• determine, in response to dealer input received after an initial deal for a playing round of a blackjack game, that an upward-facing card of a dealer's initial hand indicates a first required rank value of a natural hand;
• automatically detect, based on an electronic analysis of card-draw timestamp data, an electronic analysis of card-draw image data, and an electronic analysis of game settings, whether a rank value of a downward-facing card of the dealer's initial hand indicates a second required rank value of the natural hand, wherein the automatically detecting occurs without exposing the downward-facing card and prior to another card being drawn, for the playing round, after the initial deal;
• and
• in response to automatically detection of whether the rank value of the downward-facing card indicates the second required rank value, indicate, via the one or more electronic indicators, whether the dealer's initial hand either equates to the natural hand or does not equate to the natural hand.
