Some microcontrollers use “shot noise” from a spare transistor to feed their Random() statement. You could feed that into a gaming system or anything really.

Lots of formulas: [Link](https://www.physics.wisc.edu/courses/home/spring2020/623/miscellaneous%20electronics%20tips/More%20noise%20references/shot_noise_chp6_txt.pdf)
