could be a casino question, there are many games that people play aggressively ;)
In slots, if you play the minimum, then you collect the minimum.
In blackjack, I actually saw a girl who hit 18 and got a 3. plus some split 10s when the dealer has a 4,5,6 😯
In craps or roulette, you can play a lot of numbers, etc :p

But if a poker question in the wrong place then, - if just learning play tight aggressive, if comfortable, play very aggressive.

It's best to play in a way that gets you good results. It depends on what we're talking about, tournaments or cash games. Different formats require different approaches. Aggressive play can get you good results if you know how to assess your chances correctly and are always ready to fold when those chances are lower than necessary.

Or he is thinking about how aggressively you have to press the slot button to win. ;)
The harder you press the button, the more likely you are to be kicked out of the casino, but I'm just guessing. :)

If you want to play aggressively in slots or roulette, I think it could end badly for you. If you want to play aggressively in poker, then in this case it all depends on the format and structure of the tournament you choose. In hyper tournaments or turbo tournaments, your aggressive play can pay off. In slow tournaments, your aggressive play will most likely end fairly quickly after it begins.

More agression vs the house will have you broke.

The longer you play in the casino, the higher your chance of leaving a loser.

I assume you're talking about poker, if not you really should've specified a little more.

In any case, you'll be hearing that aggression pays off, but it's not as simple as that. To use aggression profitably all the time, you need to be in an advanced level, to be capable of analyzing every situation and figuring out who folds and who doesn't.

In general, for a recreational or intermediate level player, I think it would be better to adapt. Use aggression at a passive table and play more cautiously when most players you're facing are on the aggressive side.

The best way? Solid TAG as a foundation.
Tight-aggressive works because you play strong ranges and apply pressure. It’s simple, profitable, and easier to execute consistently.

I think the answer to your question depends very much on what kind of game you are planning to play and if casino or Poker or both.

It's important to understand that this kind of behavior at the table communicates to opponents that a player has strong hands. At the same time, they understand who's in control. If we consider poker playstyles, it becomes clear that an aggressive style implies this kind of behavior at the table. It's important to keep in mind the importance of managing your stack size and considering the flop value.
