The Indiana Gaming Commission held new bidding and they are expected to vote on June 23, 2005 on the approval of Blue Sky Casino who was the sole bidder for the gaming license that was abandoned by Trump due to the fact that the company was insolvent and facing bankruptcy with over $1.3 billion of 11.25% First Mortgage notes secured by the Taj Mahal and Trump Plaza coming due in April 2006.

In 2004 the company explored various options for restructuring its debt, amid speculation that it might file for bankruptcy. A possible arrangement with Credit Suisse First Boston was not completed because the bondholders rejected it.

On October 21, 2004 the company announced a preliminary agreement with its investors. Trump, who has been the majority owner, would reduce his stock ownership from 56 percent to 27 percent. Bondholders would surrender some of their debt in exchange for stock. On October 27, the company announced that Morgan Stanley would be the joint lead arranger for a financing of $500 million financing as part of the restructuring plan. On November 21, the company filed for bankruptcy. Trump said the filing was "really just a technical thing" as the best way to implement the restructuring plan.
