In my personal experience the "ask at check-out" approach has always yielded a much higher $ value than the Express Comps system did (perhaps in part because some people don't know to ask for it and so it costs the casino less).
That isn't quite right - mLife did end Express Comps for table games players, but Express Comps was nothing more than a subset of primary comps earned. Every table games player still has a running account; it's the primary comps bucket. So nothing has changed except for the elimination of the Express Comps subset. And in the past, of course your primary comps were always far greater than the Express Comps, since Express Comps was just a tiny subset of the greater primary comps.
