The house always wins

From the NY Post:

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.

that photo of the building looks more like a theme restaurant than a casino.

I hate this place so much,it is making the area worse and crime in the ozone is accelerating.

I heard that most of the big bettors there are Asian.
Last time I went that's all I saw. And many of the "casino" signs, are in Chinese, including the restroom signs!
Queens. Vibrant. Diverse.

He was worried that his parents would be mad at him for failing, just like math class when he was in school!

C'mon people, someone killed themself, a little sympathy may be in order.

Bet with your head not over it. I wonder if the casino sends a mourner to the wake/funeral/cremation.

Asians are the ones with money to bet big!! of course they have to cater to them. Else the casino will not be as profitable! Hows that to shove into your face for those commenters who make fun of someone who jumped off and die..no sympathy for him, no sympathy also for you b-stard.

Also the post is only part of the story.. remember.. he was up...so something else is up.. not sure if it's an accident. But If forgot.. those who comment without those sympathy are simpletons...so they can't think about those situations..

come on.. let's see the on-slaughter to attack me coming..I'm expecting it. =)

I have no sympathy for people who kill themselves over stupid things. The man had a gambling problem...it's the same with those drug addicts who overdose, they did it to themselves. I have no sympathy for any of them!
