This is fantastically awesome!
What people often miss is that a statement like "X wins with 75% probability" means that X's supporters have a very solid chance of losing. The odds (and risks) in the long run aren't the same when there is no long run, just one experiment.
My recommendation would be to change the script so that "dropping all balls" stops after one run, and the button "drop one ball" gets highlighted after that, encouraging the user to click it.
Because it is then that you get to feel how real the chances of ball ending up on the right side are, even if most balls end up on the blue side.
We all only get one drop.
