piece of the action
Cut of profits
A piece of the action is a share in the profits or involvement in an enterprise, especially one that's lucrative or exciting.
Someone who wants a piece of the action seeks to participate in something promising—a business deal, gambling venture, or opportunity others are benefiting from: Every investor wanted a piece of the action once the startup took off.
