Falling bins are like dice

Falling bins are like dice. Well, weighted dice. Has anyone figured out through experiment what the probability is of which side coming up is? It's only useful if you simulate real match events (having them fall down a ramp for instance). Any numbers would be helpful

My guess is
face up - .2
face down - .4
"long" side - .3
"short" side - .1

But I would like real stats (mean probability and SD or varience would be good).

Thanks

Greg
