How are random numbers generated?

Just curious if the randomness in games...such as dice rolls, etc. are pseudo-random numbers generated by computers or is taking advantage of something physical like random.org. They are using atmospheric noise to achieve more randomness. Was wondering if we are using any services to help with true randomness.

It is using PRG that passed lot of statistical tests (I think Mersenne twister is currently used)
