An English gambler has found fame in the New Zealand press after she was told to leave a casino for showing too much cleavage.

Christchurch Casino staff said that 33-year-old Helen Simpson was offending patrons because of her big bust.

Ms Simpson said that she has worn the dress in places throughout Europe and has not received any complaints.

"[The staff] said you're causing offence because you're showing a lot of front, you need to cover up or you need to leave," said Ms Simpson in an interview with TVNZ.co.nz.

But as website TV3 pointed out the Christchurch Casino website features women in low-slung dresses, which may invite accusations of hypocrisy.

Christchurch Casino was recently nominated for the People's Choice Awards.
