The dealer has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of playing vingt-et-un require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how flush the deck is in high cards that will bust her.

The high cards favour the gambler because they may break the casino when he hits their stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
