In casino 21, you can hold on your stiffs if you choose to, but the casino cannot.

The dealer has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of gambling on vingt-et-un require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the shoe is in high cards that will bust them.

The high cards favour the player because they may break the casino when she hits his stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.
