Not necessarily, you can create your own game and still have fun playing, particularly with a random element.
To an omniscient being, there's no such thing as "random". Which path an event chain might take might be random, but the being would already, in advance, know which path will be taken. It's the very definition of the term "omniscient": knowing the outcome. All possible outcomes and which one, specifically, will come to pass. Logically, then, where's the fun in waiting for what you already know will happen?
I suppose it depends on your definition of omniscient. I was defining it as knowing all that is happening, not all that will happen.
