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

The high cards favour the gambler because they might bust the house when she hits her stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the gambler.
