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

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