When receiving a chest it's exciting to see a Gold Chest pop up, and I would say even more exciting to see a Magic Chest appear. Is the chest you receive decided randomly?

In general, chests received are not random. There is a long repeated pattern in which you receive chests. You may have noticed that early on, chest 12 to be precise, you received a Magic Chest. Everyone else did too.
As mentioned in this answer there are more modern ways of reviewing your chest cycle than manually counting. For more information on the cycle, see below. However, if you'd just like to view where you are in your current cycle then I recommend you enter your player tag into https://statsroyale.com/
Old Way:
A user Asdamp on Reddit decrypted the CSV files that contain the data for this pattern and posted it.
All players start their cycles at different places, so to keep track of your own cycle you'll need to pay attention to the magical and giant chests that you receive.
The following is the order in which chests are received:
After you make a complete cycle through this list, you start back at the top at 0, and the cycle repeats. It is worth mentioning that only chests received increment the cycle, so feel free to battle while you have 4 chests without worrying about missing that Magic Chest.
As a final note, if you're quite lucky, you may receive a Super Magical Chest. These chests are awarded randomly, and can happen anywhere within a cycle, or not at all. Receiving Super Magical Chests will not affect your cycle, your next chest will be in the order you expect.
