The four numbers operators read first
Against locations your size (6+ terminals, 6,794 of them), your NTI/machine is −$10/mo vs the $5,109 peer median — bucketing by size keeps a small bar from being measured against a big one.
Where the money goes (August 2026)
Illinois law fixes the after-tax split at 50/50 and bans any deviation (230 ILCS 40/25(c)) — about $9,944 to you and $9,944 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
You earn a strong hold from steady traffic — the lever here is drawing more play, not squeezing the machines.
What an operator sees: An operator sees a well-run, efficient gameset — attractive, with upside if foot traffic can be grown.

Trend
4 months loaded — partial history. The trend fills in as more monthly IGB reports are imported.
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 deeper operator read
The same history, cut the way a Terminal Operator cuts it when they decide how hard to compete for your gameset.

Takeaways
A gameset doing these numbers is the one Operators compete hardest for — and most owners never find out what that competition is worth, because they never put it out to bid.
