The casino has no choice to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of betting on blackjack require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the shoe is in high cards that will bust him.

The high cards favour the player because they could break the house when he hits her stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
