North Chicago Development, Limited
Your performance · September 2022
The four numbers operators read first
Against floors your size (4–5 terminals, 2,283 of them), your NTI/machine is +$708/mo vs the $2,116 peer median — bucketing by size keeps a small bar from being measured against a big one.
Where the money goes (September 2022)
Illinois law fixes the after-tax split at 50/50 and bans any deviation (230 ILCS 40/25(c)) — about $3,728 to you and $3,728 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
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.
Seasonality check: August → September moved −12% this year vs −9% a year ago — so a normal seasonal dip isn't mistaken for a real decline.
Your town's market
North Chicago's total gaming income is +14% year over year (trailing 3 months vs the same 3 a year ago).
Your own floor is +95% over the same-month-last-year comparison — holding up as well as or better than the town around you.
