COSTS & EARNINGS
HOW MUCH MONEY DOES AN ESTABLISHMENT MAKE?
The establishment owner receives 32.57% of the net terminal income (NTI). The 2021 average owner share of NTI was over $70,000 per year. That means that you can generate over $6,000 in additional monthly revenue just by placing video gaming machines in your establishment!
The initial investment to put video gaming machines in your establishment will pay for itself within the first month or two. Costs and expenses will vary due to different municipalities, your location layout and your terminal operator.
Revenue distribution is set by the Video Gaming Act and is as follows:
32.04%
LOCATION OWNER
32.04%
TERMINAL OPERATOR
30%
STATE OF ILLINOIS
5%
MUNICIPALITY
0.92%
