Interesting observation. 

This open more questions:
1. For very big n! numbers is there any non-zero digit (always the same) showing more than the others?
2. If not: is it possible that the differences in the frequences of the digits tends to 0, so that the zeros at the end, despite of being a very little proportion, keep the leadership of the zeros?  

In this case the digits works as the outcomes of a dice thrown a very big number of times.
