All three of Gotti's previous racketeering trials also ended with juries that could not make up their minds.
This jury said twice before that it was deadlocked, but each time the judge sent them back to work.
Prosecutors say Gotti, the 45-year-old son of a deceased mob boss of the same name, ordered or participated in several violent attacks, including three murders.
Defense attorneys say Gotti quit the mob in 1999 and never took part in any murders, named in an indictment, which was handed up in 2008.
"There was general agreement that he was in organized crime for many years. In his early years. But the withdrawal in 2003 was the primary problem that we couldn't come to a decision on. Six felt he did not. Five feel he did withdraw. One was undecided," said one juror.
Jurors in his three previous trials were also unable to come to a verdict.
Gotti remains out on $2 million bail.
