@Ghideon The payout can be approximated by what is called Pascal's Triangle and Binomial Distribution. More details on Galton Board video here They did actually. Pascal's Triangle States that a ball dropped from a particular slot has higher probability of falling into the bin right below it. This is the reason why the maximum money bin which is at the far right does not have any slot directly above it. The Wall structure is curved at the top in order to reduce the probability of getting to maximum money bin value :D

The Game show already has eyes of great minds all over the world looking for evidence to prove that they are controlling the balls manually as per the show owner's wish thereby telling that the show is fake. So any sort of movement of the pins or holes in pins would make a strong evidence as everything is visible in that wall. That's the reason maybe why all pins are stationary in a observers perspective so as to not give any clues to the observer to prove that this show is fake. So any kind of alteration in the pins would defeat this purpose

You guys have explained it really well with physics and statistical background. Really amazing. Thank you very much @Strange @Ghideon @swansont

In "The Wall" game show, the slots and also the diverters are designed symmetrically and also identically. So when a ball is dropped from a particular slot number it should end up in a particular amount. But how does the ball end up falling into different amounts on other subsequent tries even when the ball is dropped from the exact same position. The entire wall is glass enclosed so there is no air resistance. The ball is also dropped by machine,no manual input hence equal force of drop in every try. I don't know which factor affects the ball as it changes its path in every iteration even when it is dropped from the same slot. Can someone explain the science behind this on why the ball takes different route each time?
