I was going to post an answer, but I don't to post an answer with theoretical results when I am not sure what is already known in theory. Anyway this problem is well known and we are essentially after the distribution of a hitting time of a random walk on a hypercube. Because the only quantity that matters is the Total of this list, we could also analyse the discrete time discrete state Ehrenfest process (which is apparently hard to google). I think the distribution of the hitting time may be quite nice, in which a single call to RandomVariate may suffice...
