These odds may be mathematically accurate, but in reality the wheel seems seriously tilted toward failure. I've been through the game twice to nearly level 100: once with a Blademaster and now with a Sentinel and done teh free spin maybe 500 times. I get a single star VERY often, though the odds of that happening are 1/8 * 1/8 or 1.5%. I get 3 stars or less almost all the time (I'd say 95% of the time) even though the odds of that are less than 37%. I've broken onto the second column twicce, EVER, and I've NEVER hit the "jackpot" though the odds are about 2 tenths of a percent. Still, after spinning 500 times, the odds are in favor of hitting it once.

The odds of getting 4 stars is about 50%, meaning I should get more than 4 stars a little less than half the time, or several hundred times in my case. That just hasn't happened.

Also, the odds here are incorrect on the Exactly 1 Star percentage: getting 1 star requires 12.5% odds but to get EXACTLY one star, you must pull the same star on the second spin. that's odds of 12.5% times 12.5% or 1.5% odds. It's nearly as rare as getting all 8 stars. Yet I've done it more than a hundred times. It's so often that I just don't count on anything past star 2.
