Go to the casino and select poker and make the bet 1000. Now mash A for about 10 minutes and your done. You can stop and check the start menu and go under diversions and poker to see how close you are (casino winnings).

Easy achievement.

It only tells you your winnings on start menu doesn't it? Not how much you've gambled.

Yeap, start menu shows only winnings. In my case I've spent about $100 000 while playing poker and won about $400 000 when the achievement poppoed up.

If you are looking at the menu, you can just look at how many poker hands you have played and mutliply that by 1000.

That only works if you haven't played poker before. For a hit man target, it is required you gamble. I chose poker, I've no idea how close I am to this achievement.

I'd recommend starting with about $150k (that's what I had), as you wouldn't want to stop halfway through if you run out of money.

I just played over 1000 hands of blackjack with in total 35,000 starting cash, but the achievement did not pop... even though it says 522,000 winnings!

You need a minimum of 500 hands played (more if you bet lower than $1,000 like I did a few times by mistake).

You just have to gamble $500,000. It doesn't matter whether or not you win. Poker's a bit faster than Blackjack. Just set the bet at $1000 and keep pushing the buttons until you get the achievement. It takes about 10 minutes to play through 500 hands if you're pushing reasonably fast. Since you'll win some of the hands, it only costs you probably about $300,000 to get this achievement. (Random luck will cause that to vary obviously but it'll probably cost around that much.)

I must have been very lucky. I ended up only being about $50k down by the time the achievement popped.

Well I didn’t lose anything, because I reloaded my game after getting the achievement. But if I hadn’t reloaded I would have lost $60k.

This achievement requires you to gamble $500,000. Before you start this achievement make sure that you save your game if you do not want to lose all your money and once you complete the achievement just load back up your save and you will still have all your cash.

There are many places on the map where you can find poker & blackjack machines. The most popular place you can go is to the casino in the hotels and marina district, this is in the north east of the map. And you will find the casino just south of the clothes store. Once you get here enter a game of poker and set the bet to $1000. Now all that is left to do is repeatedly tap the cn_A button until the achievement pops.

It shouldn't take any longer than 30 minutes max, if you want to check your progress towards the achievement, hit the menu button, go to info, diversions, mini-games and then select poker. This will tell you how many hands you have played and you will need to have played 500 hands at $1000 each to get the achievement.

Make sure you save the game beforehand if you don't want to take the risk of losing any money. Also, make sure you have at least $200,000 or so cash on hand. Then, go to the Hotels and Marina District. South of the Branded clothing shop is a bright yellow half-circle building. This the casino you robbed in the first Ronin mission. Go in and go next to one of the slot machines. It will give you the option to play poker or blackjack. Choose poker, then set your bet to the max of $1000 by hitting once. You can just mash for a while, or play a bit smarter if you want by dealing once, selecting any cards you want to keep, then dealing again. The game will automatically hold any pair or better, so you'll break about even just mashing endlessly.

You can check your progress at any time by going to the Pause Menu and selecting 'Info' > 'Diversions' > 'Minigames' > 'Poker'. If you've been betting the max continually, you'll need 500 hands played. This shouldn't take any longer than half an hour or so.
