The four numbers operators read first
Against floors your size (1–3 terminals, 648 of them), your NTI/machine is −$1,070/mo vs the $1,480 peer median — bucketing by size keeps a small bar from being measured against a big one.
Where the money goes (February 2021)
Illinois law fixes the after-tax split at 50/50 and bans any deviation (230 ILCS 40/25(c)) — about $406 to you and $406 to your operator this month. Neither side can move that split. That's the whole point of The Gameset: since the money is set by statute, operators compete for your floor on service — games, cabinets, refresh cadence, response time — not on dollars.
Where your floor stands
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 floor where a real service upgrade has room to move the numbers.
Trend
2 months loaded — partial history. The trend fills in as more monthly IGB reports are imported.
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 floor 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.

The same history, cut the way a Terminal Operator cuts it when they decide how hard to compete for your floor.
