   TRUMP ENTERTAINMENT RESORTS ANNOUNCES REPLACEMENT OF ENTIRE CREDIT FACILITY

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ - December 27, 2007- Trump Entertainment Resorts, Inc.
(NASDAQ: TRMP) (the "Company") today announced that the Company has obtained a
new $493.25 million first lien mortgage credit facility through an agreement
with Beal Bank Nevada. The new credit facility refinances all of the Company's
current first lien debt at an interest rate of LIBOR + 3.2% with a maturity
period of five years, and eliminates requirements to maintain certain leverage,
first lien leverage and interest coverage ratios.

Mark Juliano, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are
particularly pleased because we believe that the execution of this agreement in
this credit market is an endorsement of our strategic plan, and we are very
pleased to have Beal Bank Nevada as a key partner. As we prepare to open the new
Taj Mahal tower in 2008, we are very optimistic about our Company's position in
the market and the significant improvements we have made in our business model
during the past year."
