In casino 21, you can hold on your stiffs if you choose to, but the dealer cannot.

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

The high cards favor the player because they might break the casino when he hits her stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
