Low-volume month. April 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 $165 to you and $165 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 monthApril 2026 up 251% on a year earlier
May 2025 – April 2026May 2024 – April 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: March → April moved −69% this year vs −94% a year ago — so a normal seasonal dip isn't mistaken for a real decline.

Your town's market

Hardin's total gaming income is +125% year over year (trailing 3 months vs the same 3 a year ago).

Your own gameset is +251% over the same-month-last-year comparison — holding up as well as or better than the town around you.

Takeaways

•Each terminal earned about $127 in April 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 9.6% — 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 3.19× 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 $177 in gaming tax, April 2026's income is split 50/50 with your operator by law (230 ILCS 40/25(c)) — about $165 to you. Neither side can move that split, which is why operators here compete on service.
•Recent momentum is building — +8% against your trailing average.
