I believe most utilize a pseudo-random system to help smooth out the swinginess of true random. Some even utilize a fixed long set of numbers so that it doesn't have to generate a random number every call. I first encountered it in DotA. Similar to another comment about LoL, the longer you don't Crit the higher chance your next attack with Crit, and vice versa. Higher level players would intentionally "save" a Crit (look for a string of non-Crits while hitting mobs) to ensure high burst damage on heroes. https://liquipedia.net/dota2/Pseudo_Random_Distribution https://liquipedia.net/dota2/Pseudo_Random_Distribution
