Gambler on win streak jumps to his death at Aqueduct

A gambler who spent his day playing the slot machines at the Resorts World Casino in Queens leaped head-first to his death from a balcony inside the Aqueduct casino Friday, cops and police sources said.

“He was not in the hole,” a police source said, adding that the man had actually made money at the slots. “Actually, he was up.”

The source said the man, identified only as a 38-year-old Asian, jumped at about 5:50 p.m. from the second-floor balcony, approximately 30 feet above the lobby floor.
