Illinois law fixes the after-tax split at 50/50 and bans any deviation (230 ILCS 40/25(c)) — about $817 to you and $817 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

Efficient gameset

You earn a strong hold from steady traffic — the lever here is drawing more play, not squeezing the machines.

What an operator sees: An operator sees a well-run, efficient gameset — attractive, with upside if foot traffic can be grown.

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 monthOctober 2023 down 52% on a year earlier
November 2022 – October 2023November 2021 – October 2022

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: September → October moved −71% this year vs +2% a year ago — so a normal seasonal dip isn't mistaken for a real decline.

Your town's market

Oak Lawn's total gaming income is +5% year over year (trailing 3 months vs the same 3 a year ago).

Your own gameset is −52% over the same-month-last-year comparison — the town's tide explains part of the move; it isn't all your gameset.

Takeaways

•Each terminal earned about $413 in October 2023 — the 2nd percentile of 8,235 Illinois locations that month. Per-terminal NTI is the number operators judge a gameset by, because it strips out how many machines you run.
•Within Oak Lawn, that's #45 of 45 locations by per-terminal earnings — the fairest like-for-like, since neighbors share the same foot traffic and economy.
•Hold — the share of money played that the gameset keeps — was 12.8% — above the 9.1% state median. Hold is driven mostly by the games in the gameset, which is exactly what an operator brings to the table.
•A dollar cycled through your machines 4.81× before leaving — higher means longer, more engaged sessions. When the cycle rate starts falling it usually shows up before NTI does, so it's an early read on gameset health for both sides.
•Efficient gameset — You earn a strong hold from steady traffic — the lever here is drawing more play, not squeezing the machines.
•After $842 in gaming tax, October 2023's income is split 50/50 with your operator by law (230 ILCS 40/25(c)) — about $817 to you. Neither side can move that split, which is why operators here compete on service.
•Heads-up: NTI has slipped three months running. Worth a look — it can be seasonal (check the year-ago comparison), or a sign the gameset is due for fresher titles or better service.
There's headroom in these numbers.

Operators bid on what they'd put in your gameset — newer cabinets, better titles, faster fixes. We'll turn your profile into an anonymized Listing they compete on.
