Detailed description
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
After each game, this is how the dice statistics are laid out: snipboard.io/8gX2oL.jpg
Here is my proposed improvement: snipboard.io/uc5LQM.jpg
Advantages:
(1) the counts of each sum are labelled and distinguishable from the percentages (in the current format, the percent sign is not used, leaving players confused about whether the figures shown are percentages or not);
(2) the horizontal "grid" layout is more compact than the existing vertical "list" layout;
(3) the "expected percentage" is clearly labelled (instead of the tilde symbol in the current format, which some people might not understand.
Instead of the term "expected percentage", you may wish to use the phrase "long-term average" or something similar.

Report history
In effect, the omission of the % symbol and the rounding to the nearest percentage point leads people to assume that a game had, perhaps 98 or 101 rolls, rather than 50 or 60 which is typical. Then you can do the math correctly and you find that the probability of no 9's being rolled is about 1 in 100,000, assuming 98 rolls per game. But on BGA, it occurs around once in 400 games (since the true number of rolls per game is usually 50 or 60). This can lead them to believe that the dice algorithm is either buggy or rigged.
