Do dealers hit on 17 blackjack

That's a hand total of 16 and a pretty good hand at that. Let's say you're dealt a Jack of diamonds and a 6 of hearts. The player must always risk drawing additional cards or standing on a hand total before the dealer is required to act. The player is always first to act in blackjack and that is why it is a hard decision when to hit or stand in blackjack.
