Serendipitous

Earn a net total of 10,000 Casino Coins in Serendipity through Chocobo Racing and/or Slot Machines. Casino Coins cannot be bought with Gil; they must be earned.

Slot machines offer a chance for higher payouts and are required for the “Lucky Coin” Fragment, making them a dual-purpose activity.
