Gaming tax$9,010 · 35%Operator's 50%$8,366 · 32%Yours, 50%$8,366 · 32%

Illinois law fixes the after-tax split at 50/50 and bans any deviation (230 ILCS 40/25(c)) — about $8,366 to you and $8,366 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 · lower hold

Plenty of traffic, but the hold runs below the market — the right game mix could turn that demand into more income.

What an operator sees: An operator sees busy machines with margin headroom — a gameset where better titles and merchandising pay off.

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 monthMay 2026 down 35% on a year earlier
June 2025 – May 2026June 2024 – May 2025

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: April → May moved +6% this year vs −2% a year ago — so a normal seasonal dip isn't mistaken for a real decline.

Your town's market

Sangamon County's total gaming income is +0% year over year (trailing 3 months vs the same 3 a year ago).

Your own gameset is −35% over the same-month-last-year comparison — the town's tide explains part of the move; it isn't all your gameset.

Takeaways

•Each terminal earned about $4,290 in May 2026 — the 47th percentile of 8,560 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 Sangamon County, that's #32 of 46 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 8.2% — below the 9.4% 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 2.66× 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 · lower hold — Plenty of traffic, but the hold runs below the market — the right game mix could turn that demand into more income.
•After $9,010 in gaming tax, May 2026's income is split 50/50 with your operator by law (230 ILCS 40/25(c)) — about $8,366 to you. Neither side can move that split, which is why operators here compete on service.
•Recent momentum is softening — −4% against your trailing average.
