The casino has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of betting on 21 require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the shoe is in high cards that will break him.
The high cards favour the gambler because they could break the dealer when he hits his stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
