The casino has no decision to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of gambling on 21 require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the shoe is in high cards that will bust him.

The high cards favour the gambler because they might break the casino when he hits her stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.
