EXHIBIT 99.1 NEWS RELEASE November 28, 2001 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE TRUMP HOTELS & CASINO RESORTS, INC. (NYSE:DJT) CONTACT: David Friedman, Esq. Kasowitz, Benson, Torres & Friedman 212-506-1700 New York, NY ....... Based on the establishment of a bondholders committee for the purpose of good faith negotiations between the bondholders and representatives of Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, THCR has decided to make interest payments in the aggregate amount of approximately $91 million, on TRUMP ATLANTIC CITY ASSOCIATES AND TRUMP ATLANTIC CITY FUNDING, INC. 11 1/4% Mortgage Notes due May 2006; TRUMP ATLANTIC CITY ASSOCIATES AND TRUMP ATLANTIC CITY FUNDING II, INC. 11 1/4% Mortgage Notes due May 2006; TRUMP ATLANTIC CITY ASSOCIATES AND TRUMP ATLANTIC CITY FUNDING III, INC. 11 1/4% Mortgage Notes due May 2006; TRUMP'S CASTLE ASSOCIATES, L.P. 10 1/4% Senior Notes due April 2003; TRUMP'S CASTLE ASSOCIATES, L.P. 11 3/4% Mortgage Notes due November 2003; and TRUMP'S CASTLE HOTEL & CASINO, INC. 10 1/4% Senior Notes due April 2003, (collectively, the "Bonds") THCR looks forward to the negotiation and completion of a definitive agreement with respect to the Bonds prior to the due dates of the next interest payments on the Bonds. If a mutually satisfactory agreement is not reached, there can be no assurance that such payments will be made in the future. The negotiations with the bondholder group was precipitated by the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center which, in turn, led New York State to pass the largest gaming bill in its history. The Trump name, related trademarks and management continue to serve the Atlantic City properties well, with the Trump Taj Mahal again finishing #1 in Atlantic City for the month of October with a "win" of $42.1 million. This #1 finish was achieved notwithstanding the hundreds of millions of dollars of investment being spent by its nearest competitors on enlargement, plant and equipment. Donald J. Trump, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of THCR, stated "We are very happy with Trump Taj Mahal again being #1 in October and likewise the success of our other operations and are very much looking forward to making a deal which will reflect the economic realities of the present day. We want also to invest in our facilities in order to keep and even further enhance our current status." Atlantic City appears destined to take a tremendous economic "hit" from New York State gambling, far beyond anything ever contemplated by previous proposals. In order to position its properties for the future, appropriate concessions are being sought by THCR. Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, Inc. is a public company which is approximately 42% owned by Donald J. Trump. THCR is separate and distinct from all of Mr. Trump's other holdings.
