Your performance · July 2026
The four numbers operators read first
Against locations your size (6+ terminals, 6,753 of them), your NTI/machine is −$5,090/mo vs the $5,201 peer median — bucketing by size keeps a small bar from being measured against a big one.
Where the money goes (July 2026)
Illinois law fixes the after-tax split at 50/50 and bans any deviation (230 ILCS 40/25(c)) — about $217 to you and $217 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
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.

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 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.
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: June → July moved −97% this year vs −5% a year ago — so a normal seasonal dip isn't mistaken for a real decline.
Your town's market
Prospect Heights's total gaming income is +9% year over year (trailing 3 months vs the same 3 a year ago).
Your own gameset is −96% over the same-month-last-year comparison — the town's tide explains part of the move; it isn't all your gameset.
