Illinois law fixes the after-tax split at 50/50 and bans any deviation (230 ILCS 40/25(c)) — about $6,926 to you and $6,926 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

Efficient gameset

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.

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.

Takeaways

•Each terminal earned about $3,552 in September 2026 — the 43rd percentile of 8,629 Illinois locations that month. Per-terminal NTI is the number operators judge a gameset by, because it strips out how many machines you run.
•Within Franklin County, that's #25 of 71 locations by per-terminal earnings — the fairest like-for-like, since neighbors share the same foot traffic and economy.
•Hold — the share of money played that the gameset keeps — was 15.0% — 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 2.18× 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.
•Efficient gameset — You earn a strong hold from steady traffic — the lever here is drawing more play, not squeezing the machines.
•After $7,459 in gaming tax, September 2026's income is split 50/50 with your operator by law (230 ILCS 40/25(c)) — about $6,926 to you. Neither side can move that split, which is why operators here compete on service.

You're ahead of your market.

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.
