The idea's that God (the universe) is the ultimate totality of everything, by definition.

Einstein was a proponent of hidden-variable theory. The gist is that, if something appears random, then it's really just chaotically dependent upon information we don't have.

Einstein was basically just pointing out that any description of the universe that includes randomness would be an incomplete description.

So, God (the universe) doesn't play dice. Subsets of it might, but Einstein held that a complete description of the universe would be fully deterministic. Any description reliant on randomness merely omits the hidden variables.

A god who plays dice would basically not be the God.
