dealt for the last hand

In a card game:
"The cards were dealt for the last hand."
I think I understand the first part. I wonder
what 'for the last hand' means here.

Thank you.

For the last game. After that, they will stop.

I see. "Let's play one more time, but
that's all for today." Right?

Yes, but the agreement could have been made earlier. For example, we will play 20 hands, or we will play until 10:00. (I'm not sure if that was part of your question or not, but they will play one mnore time and that will be all.)
