According to Ohio Law, if the game is held on a non-profit organization's property (The Eagles), and the sponser (the card shop) is using the rake (after expenses) to donate to a charitable cause, then the game is legal.

The dealer's aren't paid, so that is why they are not legimate pro dealers.

Are you sure they can't pay the dealers? I've talked to a few people who make really good money working for non-profit groups as outside contractors, because the group isn't supposed to make money itself, but they can pay the outside people whatever's reasonable.
