Illinois law fixes the after-tax split at 50/50 and bans any deviation (230 ILCS 40/25(c)) — about $9,831 to you and $9,831 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 · high hold

Strong demand and a healthy hold — your gameset is doing well on both the traffic and the margin side.

What an operator sees: An operator reads this as a proven, high-value gameset and will compete hard on service to win it.

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 monthSeptember 2022 down 5% on a year earlier
October 2021 – September 2022Oct 2020 – September 2021

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 +4% this year vs −36% a year ago — so a normal seasonal dip isn't mistaken for a real decline.

Your town's market

Montgomery's total gaming income is +7% year over year (trailing 3 months vs the same 3 a year ago).

Your own gameset is −5% 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 $4,965 in September 2022 — the 62nd percentile of 7,936 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 Montgomery, that's #7 of 13 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 9.0% — above the 8.7% 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 2.68× 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 · high hold — Strong demand and a healthy hold — your gameset is doing well on both the traffic and the margin side.
•After $10,129 in gaming tax, September 2022's income is split 50/50 with your operator by law (230 ILCS 40/25(c)) — about $9,831 to you. Neither side can move that split, which is why operators here compete on service.
•Recent momentum is softening — −18% against your trailing average.
You're ahead of your market.

A gameset doing these numbers is the one Operators compete hardest for — and most owners never find out what that competition is worth, because they never put it out to bid.
