The fragments (ふしぎな石版 fushigi na sekiban 'Mysterious Lithograph', originally shards) are a Key Item in Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past.

They can generally be separated into four separate colors as follows:

Yellow Fragments (ふしぎな石版黄 - originally LandShard)
Red Fragments (ふしぎな石版赤 - originally FireShard)
Blue Fragments (ふしぎな石版青 - orginally AquaShard)
Green Fragments (ふしぎな石版緑 - originally WindShard)

If you wish to cheat the game a bit, you can view some tips and tricks in the Casino section of the guide. The best items to get are a War Hammer, Full Plate Armor and Iron Mask for the Hero, and a Cloak of Evasion and White Shield for Maribel.

Gamble at the 9 coin slots until you hit at least 270 or just gamble 30-30-40 on the 10 coin slot. If you lose, reset, if you win a chunk go save again (aka start at 100, if you make 150, save, 200.

In addition to these four, there are also the Mysterious Fragments (ふしぎな石版？ - originally ?Shard). Each of these fragments have correspondingly colored pedestals in the Shrine of Mysteries they must be inserted into, which will become necessary to proceed with the game.

In DQ7 the match game seems to be the best way to gain money. You can then use the money to purchase tokens. Hint: the hands appear most often in the bottom row, and taking a picture of the screen with the first 5 flips may be cheating, but it makes it a lot easier. As a bonus, in the early game, the equipment is really good too. A prominent feature in most Dragon Quest games is the casino. Poker, slot machines, and luck panel can all be played in Dragon Quest VII. The Excellence Grading Organisation allows the player to compete for the highest stats, like the Best-Dressed Contest from Dragon Quest VI.
