The casino has no choice to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of wagering on twenty-one require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how flush the shoe is in high cards that will break her.

The high cards favor the gambler because they could bust the dealer when she hits her stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the gambler.
