... well since you can't really create 'random' then there would have to be some kind of bias i'd assume...

You can generate random numbers -- much more random electronically than in a casino.

No, you can't. Random means just that, random. If you have some physicaly entity creating the numbers, it's not 100% random. It just appears that way.

Actually we don't live in a world governed by classical mechanics. The measurement of quantum mechanical systems are in fact probabilistic events that can in turn be used to generate random sets of numbers. Bell's Theorem rules out reasonable hidden variable theories that would allow for the observations of quantum mechanics to be explained by deterministic classical mechanics.
