Illinois law fixes the after-tax split at 50/50 and bans any deviation (230 ILCS 40/25(c)) — about $8,847 to you and $8,847 to your operator this month. Neither side can move that split. That's the whole point of The Gameset: with the split set by statute, operators compete for your gameset on service — games, cabinets, refresh cadence, response time.

Where your gameset stands

High play · high hold

Strong demand and a healthy hold — your gameset is doing well on both the traffic and the margin side.

What an operator sees: An operator reads this as a proven, high-value gameset and will compete hard on service to win it.

Cycle rate is a leading indicator: when players start cycling their money fewer times, it usually shows up here before it shows up in NTI — an early read on gameset health for you and for an operator.

These are the two series a service change shows up in. Fresher titles and faster response tend to move win per unit first; hold follows the game mix. Both are your own numbers against a neutral market line — not a verdict on anyone.

This year against last, by monthMay 2026 up 24% on a year earlier
June 2025 – May 2026June 2024 – May 2025

A month that looks like a collapse is often just that month. Laid over the same months a year earlier, a seasonal dip and a real decline stop looking alike.

Seasonality check: April → May moved +4% this year vs +5% a year ago — so a normal seasonal dip isn't mistaken for a real decline.

Your town's market

Anytown's total gaming income is +3% year over year (trailing 3 months vs the same 3 a year ago).

Your own gameset is +24% over the same-month-last-year comparison — holding up as well as or better than the town around you.

Takeaways

•Each terminal earned about $4,537 in May 2026 — the 82nd percentile of 8,561 Illinois locations that month. Per-terminal NTI is the number operators judge a gameset by.
•Within Anytown, that's #12 of 140 locations by per-terminal earnings — the fairest like-for-like, since neighbors share the same foot traffic.
•Hold was 9.4% — the share of money played the gameset keeps — a healthy read, above the state median. Hold is driven by the games in the gameset, which is what an operator brings.
•A dollar cycled through the machines 2.62× before leaving — longer, more engaged sessions. A falling cycle rate tends to precede an NTI dip, so it's an early read for both sides.
•After gaming tax, income splits 50/50 with your operator by law (230 ILCS 40/25(c)) — neither side can move it, which is why operators here compete on service.
