Momentum +62%
Low-volume month. September 2026 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 $214 to you and $214 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.

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.

Your town's market

Jacksonville's total gaming income is +8% year over year (trailing 3 months vs the same 3 a year ago).

Takeaways

•Each terminal earned about $329 in September 2026. 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 13.7% — above the 9.4% 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 2.07× 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 $230 in gaming tax, September 2026's income is split 50/50 with your operator by law (230 ILCS 40/25(c)) — about $214 to you. Neither side can move that split, which is why operators here compete on service.
•Recent momentum is building — +62% against your trailing average.
•Terminal Operator J&J Ventures Gaming, LLC runs 2571 Locations in our data.
There's headroom in these numbers.
