Company are located at 1133 Boardwalk, Atlantic City, New Jersey 08401.

Item 2.	Identity and Background.

	This statement is being filed by FMR Corp., a Massachusetts 
Corporation ("FMR"). FMR is a holding company one of whose principal 
assets is the capital stock of a wholly-owned subsidiary, Fidelity 
Management & Research Company ("Fidelity"), which is also a 
Massachusetts corporation.  Fidelity is an investment adviser which is 
registered under Section 203 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and 
which provides investment advisory services to more than 30 investment 
companies which are registered under Section 8 of the Investment Company 
Act of 1940 and serves as investment adviser to certain other funds 
which are generally offered to limited groups of investors (the 
"Fidelity Funds").  Fidelity Management Trust Company ("FMTC"), a 
wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR Corp. and a bank as defined in Section 
3(a)(6) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, serves as trustee or 
managing agent for various private investment accounts, primarily 
employee benefit plans and serves as investment adviser to certain other 
funds which are generally offered to limited groups of investors (the 
"Accounts").  Various directly or indirectly held subsidiaries of FMR 
are also engaged in investment management, venture capital asset 
management, securities brokerage, transfer and shareholder servicing and 
real estate development.  The principal offices of FMR, Fidelity, and 
FMTC are located at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109.

	Edward C. Johnson 3d owns 34.0% of the outstanding voting common 
stock of FMR. Mr. Johnson 3d is Chairman of FMR Corp.  The business 
address and principal occupation of Mr. Johnson 3d is set forth in 
Schedule A hereto.

	The Shares to which this statement relates are owned directly by 
eight of the Fidelity Funds, and by nine Accounts.

	The name, residence or business address, principal occupation or 
employment and citizenship of each of the executive officers and 
directors of FMR are set forth in Schedule A hereto.

	Within the past five years, none of the persons named in this Item 
2 or listed on Schedule A has been convicted in any criminal proceeding 
(excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or has been a 
party to any civil proceeding and as a result thereof was or is subject 
to any judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, 
or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to , federal or state 
securities laws or finding any violations with respect to such laws.

Item 3.	Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

	The Fidelity Funds received 5,171,730 Shares of common stock 
pursuant to the Company's prepackaged plan of reorganization filed under 
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the Plan of 
Reorganization").  The Shares were received as an exchange for 
$146,740,010 principal amount of the old series notes.  In addition, the 
Fidelity Funds currently own 116,400 Shares of common stock from a 
previous reorganization of the Company.

	The Accounts of FMTC received 1,506,425 Shares of common stock 
pursuant to the Company's prepackaged plan of reorganization filed under 
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the Plan of 
Reorganization").  The Shares were received as an exchange for 
$42,742,500 principal amount of the old series notes.

Item 4.	Purpose of Transaction.

	The Fidelity Funds and the Accounts acquired the Shares through 
the conversion of certain debt to equity in the Company's Chapter 11 
Bankruptcy proceeding.

	Fidelity and FMTC, respectively, may continue to have the Fidelity 
Funds and the Accounts purchase Shares subject to a number of factors, 
including, among others, the New Jersey gaming regulation, and the 
availability of Shares of sale at what they consider to be reasonable 
prices and other investment opportunities that may be available to the 
Fidelity Funds and Accounts.

	Fidelity and FMTC, respectively, intend to review continuously the 
equity position of the Fidelity Funds and Accounts in the Company.  
Depending upon future evaluations of the business prospects of the 
Company and upon other developments, including, but not limited to, 
general economic and business conditions and money market and stock 
market conditions, Fidelity may determine to cease making additional 
purchases of Shares or to increase or decrease the equity interest in 
the Company by acquiring additional Shares, or by disposing of all or a 
portion of the Shares.

	Neither Fidelity nor FMTC has any present plan or proposal which 
relates to or would result in (i) an extraordinary corporate 
transaction, such as a merger, reorganization, liquidation, or sale of 
transfer of a material amount of assets involving the Company or any of 
its subsidiaries, (ii) any change in the Company's present Board of 
Directors or management, (iii) any material changes in the Company's 
present capitalization or dividend policy or any other material change 
in the Company's business or corporate structure, (iv) any change in the 
Company's charter or by-laws, or (v) the Company's common stock becoming 
eligible for termination of its registration pursuant to Section 
12(g)(4) of the 1934 Act.

Item 5.	Interest in Securities of Issuer.

	Although Item 5 assumes that FMR, Fidelity, and FMTC, beneficially 
own all 6,794,555 Shares, reference is made to Item 2 for a disclaimer 
of beneficial ownership with respect to the securities which are 
"be.neficially owned" by the other corporations.

	(a)	FMR beneficially owns, through Fidelity, as investment 
adviser to the Fidelity Funds, 5,288,130 Shares, or approximately 14.23% 
of the outstanding Shares of the Company, and through FMTC, the managing 
agent for the Accounts, 1,506,425 Shares, or approximately 4.05% of the 
outstanding Shares of the Company.  Neither FMR, Fidelity, FMTC, nor any 
of its affiliates nor, to the best knowledge of FMR, any of the persons 
name in Schedule A hereto, beneficially owns any other Shares.  The 
combined holdings of FMR, Fidelity, and FMTC are 6,794,555 Shares, or 
approximately 18.29% of the outstanding Shares of the Company.

	(b)	FMR, through is control of Fidelity, investment adviser to 
the Fidelity Funds, and the Funds each has sole power to dispose of the 
Shares.  Neither FMR nor Mr. Johnson has the sole power to vote or 
direct the voting of the 5,288,130 Shares owned directly by the Fidelity 
Funds, which power resides with the Funds' Boards of Trustees.  Fidelity 
carries out the voting of the Shares under written guidelines 
established by the Funds' Board of Trustees.  FMR, through its control 
of FMTC, investment manager to the Accounts, and the Accounts each has 
sole voting power and dispositive power over the 1,119,606 Shares owned 
by the Accounts. 

	(c)	Except as set forth in Schedule B, neither FMR, or any of 
its affiliates, nor, to the best knowledge of FMR, any of the persons 
named in Schedule A hereto has effected any transaction in Shares during 
the past sixty (60) days.

Item 6.	Contract, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With 
Respect to Securities 
	of the Issuer.

	Neither FMR nor any of its affiliates nor, to the best knowledge 
of FMR, any of the persons named in Schedule A hereto has any joint 
venture, finder's fee, or other contract or arrangement with any person 
with respect to any securities of the Company.
