The gambling mogul Donald Trump’s casino conglomerate is facing tough times along with the dwindling economy, as Donald Trump takes one more step for its rescue. Trump casinos are the leading casino gambling brand in the New York region known for its hospitality and wide range of gaming entertainment. But as the economy takes a twisting turn Trump Casino has already fell in debt for about $486 million in mortgage and Carl Icahn has purchased this debt. Now Carl Icahn tries to exchange the debt to ownership of the casino empire.
But Donald Trump is not yet ready to give up as they try to restructure the hailing casino empire. The stake is huge, the casino empire consists of 3 casinos in the middle of Atlantic City. Carl Icahn’s partners deliberated that Trump’s restructuring plan is not realistic considering the present economic scenario and it does not have enough cash to invest in reviving the business. Even Neil Augustine from Rothschild Investment Bank was of the opinion that the restructuring proposal put forth by Donald trump would not work out and it will lead to the collapse of the Casino empire. The Main Argument by Augustine was Donald Trump is short of cash to revive the mammoth.
There was also competition from the neighboring state of Pennsylvania where the table gaming is legalized and the Trump casino’s need additional investment to the tune of $52 million to refurbish and upgrade their facility. According to Augustine the state of Pennsylvania will grab a major share of Trump Casino’s revenues and it will be a difficult uphill battle in the uncertain times.
