I think you may enjoy looking at the remarkable things Matt Henderson can do with Mathematica. His amusing work on the Galton board is very much along the lines you mention.

I see that there are some Galton board demos on the Mathematica site, but none that actually have an individual sphere dropping and bouncing in a life like manner.  Is it possible to program a sphere hitting a pin and with a 50% probability of falling to the left and vice versus to the right?
