How to unlock the Double Down achievement in Fallout: New Vegas - Definitive Guide

Go to any casino on the strip and exchange your Caps, NCR$, or Legion Denarius for chips.

Next go and find a Black Jack table, and follow these steps.

1) Place a bet. (If you’re going for just the Achievement place a bet of 1)

2) Start the game. Remember these tips. . .

- (The object of the game is to get the sum of your cards to be close, or equal to 21)

- (Face cards such as Joker, King, and Queen are valued as a 10)

- (An Ace is valued as 1 or 11 ((Face Card + Ace = instant 21)) regular cards are the value of the cards number. Say a 4 of spades will simply be worth 4.)

3) When the dealer gives you the first initial card lets say he gives you a king right off the back. You have a total value of 10 with that one card meaning you have a total of 11 to get to a 21.

- Selecting Hit will activate the dealer to give you another card. You may Hit until you Bust which means to go over 21 this is an instant loss.

- Selecting stand means that you are confident with your number. Say you have a Face card and an 8 of diamonds in your hand for a total of 18. This is really close to 21 and if you Hit again you have a high chance of drawing a card over 3, so instead you would stand. At this point the dealer either keeps drawing until he bust or he luckily has a higher hand then you.

4) Doing this for 10 Hands/Rounds/Games etc. will get you the achievement.

You don't even have to lose that money (if little). Just do the achievement then reload a previous save.

For this trophy, you need to play 10 games of Blackjack. This can only be done in casinos. There are 5 casino's in the game (6 with the Dead Money DLC):
Atomic Wrangler (Freeside)
Vikki and Vance Casino (Primm)
Gomorrah (The Strip)
The Tops (The Strip)
Ultra-Luxe (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 Blackjack tables 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.

The third iteration, just be dealt into a hand of Blackjack ten times and the last of the three is yours. Once again, you can go to the Atomic Wrangler, but I suggest the Strip.

All you need to do is go to the casino and play Blackjack ten times. It doesn't matter whether you win or not.
