The dealer determines when to hit or stand based on the house rules of the game, which are typically standardized in casinos. In games like blackjack, the dealer will hit if their hand totals 16 or lower and stand on 17 or higher. If the dealer has a "soft" hand a hand containing an Ace that can be valued as either 1 or 11 they may hit or stand depending on specific conditions, such as whether they have a soft 17. The dealer follows these rules strictly and does not make decisions based on personal judgment, emotion, or strategy, ensuring a consistent gameplay experience for all players.

You're absolutely right! The dealer's decisions in blackjack are based on standardized rules that help maintain fairness and consistency in the game. These rules are in place to ensure that the game is played fairly and that all players have an equal chance of winning. By following these predetermined guidelines, the dealer eliminates any potential bias or advantage that could arise from personal judgment or emotions. This system also helps to make the game more predictable for players, as they can anticipate the dealer's actions based on their own hand and make informed decisions accordingly. It's this adherence to set rules that makes blackjack a game of skill and strategy, where players can use their knowledge of the rules to maximize their chances of winning.
