Man captured on video taking $500 from woman playing slot machines in Queens

It was all or nothing for a guy who ripped $500 bucks from a woman’s hands as she was gambling at a Queens casino, according to surveillance video and the police.

The suspect was caught on video dawdling around an open space between two rows of slot machines before creeping up behind the 64-year-old woman and snatching the cash from her hands at the Resorts World Casino on Rockaway Boulevard in South Ozone Park on Monday around 10:30 p.m., police said.

The man is then seen on camera fleeing, with the woman in hot pursuit.

He escaped, running toward the casino parking lot and is still in the wind, police said.
