How to unlock the One Armed Bandit achievement in Fallout: New Vegas - Definitive Guide
You can do this at any of the many casinos found around New Vegas, including Freeside (suburb N of Vegas), the New Vegas strip and even Primm (once you find them a new sheriff and some time passes).
I'd advise betting the minimum (1 chip in Primm where I did this) since the odds are heavily stacked against you. After 10 pulls, the achievement will unlock, win or lose. On my game, the achievement took a few seconds to pop after my 10th pull.
Just like in the real world, slots are for suckers who like blinkenlights more than winning so it's tough to make money here. If you try to cheat using save/load the game will detect this and prevent you from playing casino games for about a minute.

while trying to find benny in the "ring a ding ding!" mission, you'll go into the town of freeside. when you pass the metal blue makeshift doors, you'll see a sign with "Freeside!" on your right side. follow this street until you find the silver rush. across the street is a casino. convert your caps/cash to chips, then simply play 10 games. you dont need to win to unlock the achievement
edit: i made an error on the name of the casino

For this trophy, you need to play 10 games of Slots. This can only be done in casinos. There are 5 casino's in the game (6 with the Dead Money DLC), but one of them (Ultra-Luxe) doesn't have slot machines, so this trophy can't be earned it that casino. It has to be one in the other casinos:
Atomic Wrangler (Freeside)
Vikki and Vance Casino (Primm)
Gomorrah (The Strip)
The Tops (The Strip)
Sierra Madre Casino (Sierra Madre) *The DLC casino*
First you need to purchase chips, which are the currency in the casinos. You can pay for these chips with either caps, NCR Money, or Legion money. Each casino has its own chip, so you can't buy chips in one casino and have them count in another one. After you bought chips, head on the one of the slot machines inside the casino and start playing.
It's not neccesary to know the rules of the game, since you don't need to win. Simply playing 10 games should make this trophy pop up.
Hope this clears some things up.

A simple achievement as it does not even require you to win. Simply pull the handle on any slot machine 10 times and you'll get the achievement. The Atomic Wrangler Casino in Freeside is the first chance you get to play slots, but as mentioned before I suggest waiting until you're on the Strip.
This trophy will come easily, as you only have to play the game, not win it.

it’s enough just to go to a casino on the strip or freeside
