In NL I tip according to the size of the pot

One thing I noticed was in casinos (AC, Vegas) the avg tip was a lot less (a few bucks a hand at 2-5 Tables) where as in the rooms that I regularly go to, it's 5 bucks for a normal pot and 10+ for a huge one (but theres lot of action and lots of huge pots). See what the norm is and adjust according to the size of the pot -- i know i tipped a lot less in Vegas last summer than I do normally bc thats what the standard seemed to be (and i was playing the same 2-5 game Im used to but the max buy in was 500 instead of 1k so less $$$ was on the table)

Dealers in the rooms around here make $300-$1000 a night, im sure dealers in the casinos make a fraction of that
