While at least two dozen people were involved in a massive chair-tossing brawl at a Queens casino — only two crapped out with arrests.
But one of them lucked out when the charges against him were dismissed on Saturday.
Patrons were waiting in long drink lines at the grand opening of a Fat Tuesday bar at Resorts World Casino when combatants started hurling chairs across the room and swinging gold stanchions at each other. Four security guards suffered minor injuries and a cop hurt his hand trying to control the Friday night mayhem, police said.
Cops were scouring video of the mayhem and looking for additional suspects, as officials at the gambling haven promised to beef up security.
“The safety of our patrons is Resorts World’s top priority, and there is absolutely no room for this kind of behavior,” a casino spokesman said.
Fat Tuesday was closed Saturday night.
A witness captured the madness in Ozone Park in an eye-popping video.
“It looks like 15 to 20 people were actually fighting among 300 to 400 patrons who were terrified and trying to get out of the way,” a police source said.
Jovan Bovell, 23, of South Ozone Park, Queens, was arrested for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. He flailed his arms to avoid being cuffed when cops busted him after watching him brawl, according to court papers.
Bovell was released without bail after being arraigned in Queens Criminal Court on Saturday. The charges will be sealed if he stays out of trouble for six months, according to a spokeswoman for Queens DA Richard Brown.
“He doesn’t want to make any statement,” Bovell’s father told the Daily News.
Charges were dismissed Saturday against the only other man arrested for the melee. A judge tossed charges of disorderly conduct and refusing to disperse against Andre Rivers, 23, of Brownsville, Brooklyn, who had outstanding warrants for drinking alcohol on the street and disorderly conduct at the time of his arrest. He is due back in court on Oct. 2 on those charges, records show.
In addition to the two arrests, a 30-year-old man was issued a summons for disorderly conduct after the fracas, officials said.

The dining area at the Vegas-style gambling hall was left in tatters. Police estimated the damage at $2,000 but a casino spokesman described it as “minimal.”
The fight isn’t the first time that all hell has broken loose at the relatively new racino, which opened in October 2011.
Less than six months after opening a brazen thief slipped a note to a teller and walked away with $63,000 in cash.
In November, a crook followed an 88-year-old gambler all the way to his house, 10 miles from the betting parlor, and robbed him of $1,000 in prize money.
And in February, a gambling granny was arrested for locking her 5-year-old granddaughter in her car while she hit the slots.
