Allows patrons to deal the cards in certain poker games conducted at a charity game night. (Current law allows patrons to deal only in euchre games.) Prohibits a patron from playing at a table for which the patron deals the cards. Specifies rules applicable to games of Texas hold'em or Omaha poker in which a patron deals the cards. Requires the operator or a worker to deal the cards at the final table of a tournament.
