Yes, an Xbox 360 Slim can play arcade games without a DVD drive if the games are downloaded and stored on the console's hard drive. Arcade games can be purchased and downloaded directly from the Xbox Live Marketplace. However, if you want to play physical copies of games, a functioning DVD drive is necessary.
