I'm surprised no one has answered ... and sorry, I don't have a definite answer 
If you check the website under Tournament and Events, you'll see a link to comp multiplier dates. April is up right now, but not May. It says nothing about a card swipe ("just play"), but it's probably a good idea to check the kiosks first. There should be some sort of feedback about comp multiplication when you swipe your card. If not, it's probably just play.
I note there are only 10 dates in April for bonus points. That's not much and I'd like to see double the number of dates as the base rate is so little to even bother. I suspect we will see more dates per month in the future.
I also see that comps no longer expire and will grow as long as you play once per 13 months.
Agree, it looks like they are going to imitate Atlantis.
EZ: I haven't got my May mailer yet ... you might want to post the May dates for those planning a May trip.

With regard to the Pepp's 2x-4x multipliers, I just noticed the fine print
for the May dates says "before play activate your account at super kiosk" -
is this new? When we were there a few weeks ago on a 3X day, we asked a
boothling if we needed to swipe our cards anywhere and she said to just
play - nothing more was required. Our comps were at about .3, which we took
to mean as .1 base comps.
