Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell wants Donald Trump in the game. With his state poised to open 14 slot parlors next year, Pennsylvania's chief executive is hoping Trump will be among those running them.

"I want the best operators who will put the best facilities together," Rendell said after an appearance at the New Jersey Conference of Mayors on Thursday at Trump Taj Mahal. "The Trump name would be a big draw, so we would encourage him to bid on a license."

Trump's casino company, Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, recently won court approval for its Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization. Next month, it is expected to formally emerge from bankruptcy court protection, boosted by a $500 million line of credit expected to be tapped for renovations to Trump's Atlantic City properties and possibly a play in Pennsylvania.

The company wants to run a slot parlor in Philadelphia to complement its New Jersey holdings.

"We are looking at one site in particular, although we have several alternatives," Trump Hotels President Scott Butera told The Press of Atlantic City for Friday's newspapers.
