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 $1 to you and $1 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.

Takeaways

•Each terminal earned about $1 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 14.0% — 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 0.50× 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 $1 in gaming tax, September 2026's income is split 50/50 with your operator by law (230 ILCS 40/25(c)) — about $1 to you. Neither side can move that split, which is why operators here compete on service.
•Terminal Operator Gold Rush Amusements, Inc. runs 733 Locations in our data.
There's headroom in these numbers.
