They say that 4922 players spent more than 0.001 STEEM. That means that11111-4922=6918 spent ZERO STEEM and have profited just by making an account (although not more than you and I profit from people spamming our wallet with 0.001 transactions + memos though, lol).
Anyways. This means that out of the 9200 making profit, only 9200-6918=2282 actually spent any STEEM.
So, 4922 spent STEEM in the game (counting those that spent very little) and 2282 of spenders made profit. In other words, 4922-2282=2640 of the spenders are currently at a minus (although the game is of course not yet over). Still, that means A minority of 2282/4922=46.4% of the players who have spent STEEM are having profits. Most don't (yet).
So it is factually correct to say that more than 80% have made profits from playing the game.
But it is also correct, and perhaps more insightful, to say that a minority, 46.4%, of people spending STEEM to play the game made a profit.
I have to say, even 24 days after:
Great answer Fredrikaa!
