Illinois law fixes the after-tax split at 50/50 and bans any deviation (230 ILCS 40/25(c)) — about $6,528 to you and $6,528 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

Room to grow

Both play and hold sit below the market — the clearest case that fresher cabinets, better titles, and faster service could lift results.

What an operator sees: An operator sees upside: a gameset where a real service upgrade has room to move the numbers.

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 monthApril 2026 down 53% on a year earlier
May 2025 – April 2026May 2024 – April 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: March → April moved −35% this year vs +31% a year ago — so a normal seasonal dip isn't mistaken for a real decline.

Your town's market

Effingham's total gaming income is −2% year over year (trailing 3 months vs the same 3 a year ago).

Your own gameset is −53% over the same-month-last-year comparison — the town's tide explains part of the move; it isn't all your gameset.

A deeper operator read

Takeaways

•Each terminal earned about $3,348 in April 2026 — the 39th percentile of 8,569 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 Effingham, that's #24 of 32 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 7.6% — below the 9.4% state median, which a stronger game mix could recover. 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 2.90× 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.
•Room to grow — Both play and hold sit below the market — the clearest case that fresher cabinets, better titles, and faster service could lift results.
•After $7,030 in gaming tax, April 2026's income is split 50/50 with your operator by law (230 ILCS 40/25(c)) — about $6,528 to you. Neither side can move that split, which is why operators here compete on service.
•Recent momentum is softening — −15% against your trailing average.
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.
