There is a level of uncertainty and probability and the smallest level of our universe. The deterministic model of the universe has been put to rest a century ago.

This is true, what we instead have is a probabilistic model of the universe, which still obeys very clear statistical rules and probabilities, also seemingly leaving no room for free will.

A dice roll doesn't have more free will just because it's random.

The fact that we have a probabilistic model of the universe does not proof the universe is non-deterministic. It may just be computationally irreducible and therefore best modeled through probability. Quantum mechanics' use of probability does not proof that the universe throws dice. There are many explanations possible, but the short of it is: we don't know and quantum mechanics doesn't give us the answer.
