Illinois law fixes the after-tax split at 50/50 and bans any deviation (230 ILCS 40/25(c)) — about $5,010 to you and $5,010 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 · lower hold

Plenty of traffic, but the hold runs below the market — the right game mix could turn that demand into more income.

What an operator sees: An operator sees busy machines with margin headroom — a gameset where better titles and merchandising pay off.

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.

Takeaways

•Each terminal earned about $2,531 in September 2021 — the 34th percentile of 7,559 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 Paris, that's #9 of 11 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 4.3% — below the 8.4% 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 3.65× 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.
•High play · lower hold — Plenty of traffic, but the hold runs below the market — the right game mix could turn that demand into more income.
•After $5,162 in gaming tax, September 2021's income is split 50/50 with your operator by law (230 ILCS 40/25(c)) — about $5,010 to you. Neither side can move that split, which is why operators here compete on service.
•Recent momentum is softening — −37% against your trailing average.
