If God does in fact exist and created/maintains our reality then there should also be observations which cannot be explained by natural mechanisms. Quantum randomness is such an observation.
Now keep in mind, quantum randomness isn't something that hasn't been explained by natural mechanisms. It is an observation that has been scientifically shown that it cannot be explained by natural mechanisms.

God being an explanation implies it has some kind of proof. How does a God generate randomness? Surely if it set of results has been generated, then they are not random? What would the purpose of creating a semblance of randomness in the world? Surely it would be of a much greater benefit to the human race, which are after all your god's chosen species, if the outcome of a procedure was definite? It is much nicer to deal with certainties than probabilities.
The reason many games have an element of randomness is because the element of randomness makes the game more interesting.
