The dealer 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 shoe is in high cards that will bust them.

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

Although blackjacks are, equally distributed between the croupier and the player, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when he gets a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.
