Floor poker term: What is the 'Floor' in poker?

By Toby Bochan, About.com

Definition: When someone calls for "the floor" in poker, they are asking for the managers or supervisors who are working at the poker room at the time -- the people on the poker room floor.
Examples:
When there was a disagreement on whether or not a player had made a string bet during a hand, the players called for the floor to come over and make a decision.
