Illinois law fixes the after-tax split at 50/50 and bans any deviation (230 ILCS 40/25(c)) — about $2,009 to you and $2,009 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 monthFebruary 2022 down 27% on a year earlier
March 2021 – February 2022Mar 2020 – February 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: January → February moved +196% this year vs +169% a year ago — so a normal seasonal dip isn't mistaken for a real decline.

Takeaways

•Each terminal earned about $1,218 in February 2022 — the 13th percentile of 7,631 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 Wauconda, that's #16 of 17 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 8.0% — 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 2.91× 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 $2,070 in gaming tax, February 2022's income is split 50/50 with your operator by law (230 ILCS 40/25(c)) — about $2,009 to you. Neither side can move that split, which is why operators here compete on service.
•Recent momentum is softening — −29% 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.
