Surrender blackjack

Besides, this sounds too good to be true. Are you sure there isn't another random rule to this game that you missed? Are you sure blackjacks pay 3:2? I wouldn't be surprised if there was some other crazy rule that hurt the odds of this game more than this surrender rule helped it. Just curious, what state is this game in (or country)?
If this game really were as good as it sounds, I would expect it to not be in a well-run casino.

This casino is the largest in Minnesota, Mystic Lake Casino (not like casinos in Minnesota are that large). The game played exactly like regular blackjack. The only thing was that the casino had just introduced surrender games so that I guess all the kinks weren't completely worked out. My guess is that in the long run they would not pay out this way, but thats how it was currently running. It was an interesting question about what the blackjack paid out. the $2.50 chip is very common there so a bet of $3.50 or $4.50 happens all the time and I'm not actually sure how they paid it out. The casino tends to err in the players favor (its not like theres many advantage players there in Minnesota), but I will definitely look into that the next time I'm there. Thanks for the responses.

Thanks for this valuable bit of info. I always assumed surrender was Not available unless stated so somewhere at the table or posted some place in the rules etc.
