Low-volume month. September 2025 had under $10K played — likely a partial month or a new license — so it's shown but left out of rankings.

Illinois law fixes the after-tax split at 50/50 and bans any deviation (230 ILCS 40/25(c)) — about $107 to you and $107 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.

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 2025 down 78% on a year earlier
October 2024 – September 2025October 2023 – September 2024

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 −3% this year vs −58% a year ago — so a normal seasonal dip isn't mistaken for a real decline.

Your town's market

Carpentersville's total gaming income is +13% year over year (trailing 3 months vs the same 3 a year ago).

Your own gameset is −78% 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

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

Takeaways

•Each terminal earned about $109 in September 2025. Per-terminal NTI is the number operators judge a gameset by, because it strips out how many machines you run.
•Hold — the share of money played that the gameset keeps — was 18.3% — above the 9.3% 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 2.45× 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.
•After $115 in gaming tax, September 2025's income is split 50/50 with your operator by law (230 ILCS 40/25(c)) — about $107 to you. Neither side can move that split, which is why operators here compete on service.
•Recent momentum is softening — −60% against your trailing average.
•Terminal Operator Gold Rush Amusements, Inc. runs 746 Locations in our data.
There's headroom in these numbers.
