                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
                    ----------------------------------------

To the Benefits Committee of the

           Trump Casino Services Savings Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets applicable to
participants' equity of the Trump Casino Services Savings Plan (the "Plan") as
of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statement of changes in net
assets applicable to participants' equity for the year ended December 31, 1998.
These financial statements and the schedules referred to below are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets applicable to participants' equity of the
Plan as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in its net assets
applicable to participants' equity for the year ended December 31, 1998, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for investment purposes and reportable transactions are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The fund information in the
statements of net assets applicable to participants' equity and the statement of
changes in net assets applicable to participants' equity is presented for
purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets applicable
to participants' equity and the changes in net assets applicable to
participants' equity of each fund. The supplemental schedules and fund
information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

                       TRUMP CASINO SERVICES SAVINGS PLAN
                       ----------------------------------


                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         -----------------------------




(1)   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
      ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
      ----------------------

       Basis of Accounting-
       --------------------

        The accompanying financial statements of the Trump Casino Services
        Savings Plan (the "Plan") have been prepared on the accrual basis of
        accounting.

       Plan Expenses-
       --------------

        Expenses related to the administration of the Plan have been paid by
        Trump Casino Services, L.L.C. (the "Plan Sponsor"). These costs
        represent trustee fees and professional services and amounted to
        approximately $24,000 in 1998.

       Investments-
       ------------

        The investments included in the statements of net assets applicable to
        participants' equity are stated at market value. Market value, which is
        equivalent to current value, is the unit valuation of the security at
        the plan year-end as determined by The Chicago Trust Company, the
        trustee of the Plan (the "Trustee"). Accounting records are maintained
        on the accrual basis, investment transactions are recorded on the trade
        date basis and gains and losses are calculated based upon an aggregate
        participant cost that is maintained on an average unit cost basis.

       Use of Estimates-
       -----------------

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
        accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
        assumptions that affect the reported amount of net assets and disclosure
        of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
        statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
        reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

       Reclassifications-
       ------------------

        Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial
        statements to conform to the current year presentation.

(2)   PLAN DESCRIPTION:
      -----------------

       The following description of the Plan provides only general information.
       Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete
       description of the Plan's provisions.

                                      -2-


       General-
       --------

        The Plan is a 401(k) Savings Plan, which was established by the Plan
        Sponsor and became effective on January 1, 1997. All full or part-time
        non-union employees become eligible for participation in the Plan on the
        enrollment date immediately following the completion of 12 months of
        service and the attainment of age 18.

        The Plan is administered by a committee appointed by the Plan Sponsor
        (the "Plan Administrator"). The Chicago Trust Company was appointed as
        the trustee of the Plan by the Plan Administrator.

       Contributions-
       --------------

        Participants-
        -------------

         Non-highly compensated participants, as defined, are eligible to
         voluntarily contribute to the Plan up to 15% of their annual
         compensation (effective January 1, 1999, 20% of annual compensation),
         as defined. Highly compensated participants, as defined, are eligible
         to voluntarily contribute to the Plan up to 7% of their annual
         compensation, as defined. Tax deferred contributions are subject to a
         limit by the Internal Revenue Code. The 1998 limit was $10,000 per
         participant. Contributions to the Plan are invested by the Trustee, as
         designated by the participant, in increments of 5%.

        Plan Sponsor-
        -------------

         The Plan Sponsor contributes to the Plan 50% of each participant's
         contributions, not to exceed 3% of the participant's annual
         compensation, as defined.

        Participant Rollovers-
        ----------------------

         The Plan permits eligible participants, as defined, to rollover cash or
         other property acceptable to the Plan Administrator from another
         qualified plan in addition to qualified voluntary participant
         contributions.

       Distributions to Participants-
       ------------------------------

        Each participant has a fully vested interest in the amount of his or
        her contributions together with the allocable Plan earnings.
        Contributions from the Plan Sponsor vest based on the vesting schedule
        described below. The full value of the participant's vested interest in
        his or her account in the Plan will be distributed upon termination of
        the participant's employment. The normal form of payment is by lump
        sum; however, if a participant's vested benefit from all contributions
        exceeds $5,000, a participant has the right to receive payment in equal
        periodic monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual installments over a
        period not to exceed ten years.

        A participant may also withdraw all or part of his or her account upon
        attainment of age 59-1/2 or financial hardship, as defined in the Plan.

        Upon termination of employment prior to eligibility for retirement, a
        participant is eligible to receive the vested balance in his or her
        account. There were no payments due to participants who have requested
        to withdraw their funds prior to December 31, 1998 or 1997.

       Vesting-
       --------

        Voluntary contributions are fully vested at all times and are not
        subject to forfeiture.

        The Plan Sponsor's contributions vest based upon the participant's years
        of continuous service as follows-

          Years of Continuous Service                   Percentage Vested
          ---------------------------                 ---------------------

             Less than two years                                0%
             Two years                                         25%
             Three years                                       50%
             Four years                                        75%
             Five years or more                               100%

       Forfeitures-
       ------------

        The portion of a former participant's account which is not distributed
        because of the vesting provision will reduce the amount of the Plan
        Sponsor's future contributions. During 1998, no forfeitures were used to
        reduce Plan Sponsor contributions. As of December 31, 1998 and 1997,
        $23,000 and $3,695 were available to reduce future Plan Sponsor
        contributions, respectively.

       Loans-
       ------

        The Plan permits participants to borrow from their accounts at terms
        established by the Plan Administrator. Participants may borrow up to the
        lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance for specific
        reasons, as defined by the Plan. Each loan is secured by the borrower's
        vested interest in the Plan and is subject to other requirements, as
        defined. Interest on loans is charged at a rate that is comparable to
        similar loans made by commercial lenders. Loans outstanding as of
        December 31, 1998 had interest rates ranging from 8.75% to 9.50%. Loan
        repayment terms range up to five years (fifteen years if the loan was
        used to purchase a primary residence). A small administrative fee is
        required to process all loans.

       Revenue Service stating whether the Plan, as designed, is in compliance
       with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. However,
       the Plan Administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and
       being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the
       Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, they believe that the Plan was
       qualified and the related trust was tax exempt as of the financial
       statement date.

(5)   PLAN TERMINATION:
      -----------------

       While the Plan Sponsor has not expressed any intent to terminate the
       Plan, the Plan Sponsor may do so at any time subject to the provisions of
       the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In the event of
       termination, each participant is entitled to the value of his or her
       separate account.

(6)   RELATED PARTY
      TRANSACTIONS:
      -------------

       Certain Plan investments are shares of a money market fund managed by The
       Chicago Trust Company. The Chicago Trust Company is the Trustee as
       defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as
       party-in-interest.

       Certain Plan investments include shares of THCR common stock ("Common
       Stock") and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest.
       As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Plan holds Common Stock, with a
       market value of $55,994 and $61,611, respectively. During the year ended
       December 31, 1998, Common Stock was acquired at a cost of $187,413; and
       Common Stock was sold with an original cost basis of $170,271.

       The Plan Sponsor has sister companies that also sponsor similar Savings
       Plans. Transactions between the Plan and plans sponsored by the sister
       companies are as follows-
