Enter the Fort Frolic level via the bathysphere from Arcadia after you save the forest there, although you can revisit the level if you missed the achievement the first time around by using a bathysphere. Fort Frolic is the only level where slot machines are found, so make use of your time there to unlock the achievement.

This will allow for one spin of the dial where you will either receive nothing, three cherry symbols worth $25, two dollar signs and one clown face symbol worth $50 or three dollar signs worth $250. You will need to get the three dollar symbols to unlock the achievement.

Due to the large amount of money and time it will take to unlock this achievement, it is advisable to save your game before working the slot machine so that you won't run out of money. Simply reload your save if you run out of money and try again until you unlock the achievement.
