My rabbi talked about this Friday night at our vegetarian Chinese food dinner at synagogue. The explanation he gave was that it was dangerous for Jews to go out to the Beit Midrash when the Eastern European Christians were likely to be rowdy, so they stayed at home and played cards (something they weren't supposed to do at other times of the year because cards led to licentious behavior, or something like that).
