The casino has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of playing twenty-one require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the deck is in high cards that will break her.
The high cards favour the player because they could bust the house when she hits their stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Although blackjacks are, equally allocated between the house and the player, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when he receives a blackjack so the gambler has an advantage.
