Article from NZ relates to the new dress code for casino patrons. Seems Uggs are acceptable but jandles, wellies and steel toe capped boots do not cut muster.

This type of sumptuary law (legal right to wear certain clothes) goes way back into history and usually favours the 'haves' as opposed to the 'have nots.' Slightly ironic here, since most punters no matter their attire are likely to loose their all in gambling establishments.
Of course the real reason is to keep the riff raff out which is based on the wrongful assumption low socio-economical groups come stereo-typically dressed.
Apparently some studies have shown casino workers are at high risk of foot fatique due to their long hours. One can only hope the gambling establishments maintain an appropriate duty of care to their employees and provide them with suitable work shoes and podiatry services.
I would'nt bet on it ;)
