SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) – Another casino has closed in Puerto Rico amid the U.S. territory’s deep economic crisis.

The InterContinental San Juan Resort & Casino said in a statement that it closed its casino on Monday after 15 years of operation.

It is the ninth casino to close in Puerto Rico in the last five years.

Officials did not say how many employees were affected but said some would be placed in other positions.
