I used to play poker with friends, but I've never been to a casino, so one thing I've always been curious about is the issue of tipping the dealer. What I've read online seems to suggest that tipping the dealer is as customary as tipping a waiter, and not tipping would be as sociopathic as not tipping a water. And also that you need tip in tournaments (if you win money) as well as cash games. So it's really the case if you are not a sociopath, then the situation is even worse than it looks?

What is sociopathic about not tipping a waiter? Tip is something for a work unusually well done, not a default.
