Your performance · September 2026
The four numbers operators read first
Against locations your size (4–5 terminals, 1,546 of them), your NTI/machine is +$110/mo vs the $2,179 peer median — bucketing by size keeps a small bar from being measured against a big one.
Where the money goes (September 2026)
Illinois law fixes the after-tax split at 50/50 and bans any deviation (230 ILCS 40/25(c)) — about $3,719 to you and $3,719 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
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.

Trend
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.
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: August → September moved −22% this year vs −100% a year ago — so a normal seasonal dip isn't mistaken for a real decline.
Your town's market
Farmer City's total gaming income is −2% year over year (trailing 3 months vs the same 3 a year ago).
A deeper operator read
