This constitutes Amendment No. 2 (this "Amendment") to the Statement on Schedule 13D previously filed on March 6, 2002, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Statement filed on June 7, 2002 (the "Schedule 13D"), by each of Harrah's Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("HET"), and Harrah's Operating Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("HOC"). Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.

Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Schedule 13D.

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

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to add the following:

HOC used funds in the aggregate amount of $64,538,960.72 to purchase the shares of Common Stock and DBTCA Notes pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The funds were provided by HET's cash resources which come from, (i) working capital, (ii) a commercial paper program, (iii) a bid note and (iv) revolving credit and letter of credit facilities. The interest rate charged on HET's borrowings under its commercial paper program and bid note are subject to changes depending on the capital markets. HET's revolving credit and letter of credit facilities are provided to HET by a consortium of banks with a total capacity as of April 25, 2002 of $1.857 billion. The interest rates charged on borrowings under these facilities are a function of the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate, or LIBOR. As such, the interest rates charged for borrowings under the facilities are subject to change as LIBOR changes. There is also an option on each credit facility to borrow at the prime rate. Because HET's cash resources are fungible, neither HET nor HOC can state definitively which of the above cash resources the source of funds for the Purchase Agreement came from.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to add the following:

On June 7, 2002, the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement were consummated and HOC purchased 1,734,068 shares of Common Stock and the DBTCA Notes from DBTCA.

In connection with the acquisition of the shares of Common Stock, HOC received an irrevocable proxy from DBTCA appointing four representatives of HOC to vote the 1,734,068 shares of Common Stock at the 2002 Annual Meeting in favor of the two directors nominated by HET and HOC.

HOC has the right to vote 63.0% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer at the 2002 Annual Meeting. HOC intends to vote all of its shares of Common Stock, and all of the shares of Common Stock for which it will receive an irrevocable proxy in connection with the purchase of shares from DBTCA, for HET's and HOC's two nominees to the Board of Directors of the Issuer.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5(a) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to add the following:

(a): HOC beneficially owns 7,805,306 shares of Common Stock. As the parent entity of HOC, HET is a beneficial owner of these 7,805,306 shares of Common Stock. HOC and HET are the beneficial owners of 63.0% of the outstanding Common Stock. The calculation of the foregoing percentage and the percentage set forth in line 13 above is based on 12,386,200 shares of Common Stock outstanding, which number is shown as outstanding on the Form 10-Q Quarterly Report filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarter ended March 31, 2002.

Item 5(b) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to add the following:

(b)

Number of shares to which HET and HOC have:

(i): Sole power to vote or to direct the vote: 7,805,306
(ii): Shared power to vote or to direct the vote: 0
(iii): Sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: 7,805,306
(iv): Shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: 0
