Question: What type of women hosted a late 17th-century French gambling card game?
Context: Trente et Quarante (Thirty and Forty), also called Rouge et Noir (Red and Black), is a 17th-century gambling card game of French origin played with cards and a special table.  It is rarely found in US casinos, but still very popular in Continental European casinos, especially in France, Italy, and Monaco.  It is a simple game that usually gives the players a very good expected return of more than 98%. Gilet, also Gile, Gillet, is a 16th-century Italian gambling card game which probably antedates the game of Primero.  Rabelais, in 1534, gives it pride of place in his list of games played by Gargantua, and Cardano, in 1564, describes it as Geleus, from the word "Geleo", meaning "I have it". Gaming in public was not acceptable for aristocratic women as it was for aristocratic men in 18th century England, who played at social clubs such as the Tory-affiliated White's or the Whig-affiliated Brooks’s.  Thus, women gambled in private houses at social gatherings that often provided other, more socially acceptable forms of entertainment, such as musical concerts or amateur theatricals.  A group of aristocratic women came to be well known for the faro tables they hosted late into the night.  Mrs. Albinia Hobart (later Lady Buckinghamshire), Lady Sarah Archer, Mrs. Sturt, Mrs. Concannon, and Lady Elizabeth Luttrell were common figures in the popular press throughout the 1790s. Panguingue (pronounced pan-geen-eee), Tagalog Pangginggí, also known as Pan, is a 19th-century gambling card game probably of Philippine origin similar to rummy, first described in America in 1905.  It used to be particularly popular in Las Vegas and other casinos in the American southwest.  Its popularity has been waning, and it is now only found in a handful of casinos in California, in house games and at online poker sites. Quinze, "Quince", also known as Ace-low, is a 17th-century French card game of Spanish origin that was much patronized in some parts of Europe.  It is considered a forerunner of the French Vingt-et-un, a game very popular at the court of Louis XV, and also a two-player simplification of the modern game of Blackjack. Faro, "Pharaoh", or "Farobank" is a late 17th-century French gambling card game.  It is descended from basset, and belongs to the lansquenet and Monte Bank family of games due to the use of a banker and several players.  Winning or losing occurs when cards turned up by the banker match those already exposed. Bouillotte is an 18th-century French gambling card game of the Revolution based on Brelan, very popular during the 19th century in France and again for some years from 1830.  It was also popular in America.  The game is regarded as one of the games that influenced the open-card stud variation in poker.  It also gave rise to the Bouillotte lamp, consisting of one or several candlesticks with a central standard equipped with a non-flammable adjustable shade.  often made of tôle, a painted or lacquered metal, reflective white on the inside, dark on the outside, that could be lowered as the candles burned down. Primero (in English also called Primus, "Prime ", or in Italian "Primiera or Spanish "Primera")", is a 16th-century gambling card game of which the earliest reference dates back to 1526.  Primero is closely related to the game of primo visto (a.k.a. prima-vista, and various other spellings), if not the same. Monte Bank, Mountebank, Spanish Monte and Mexican Monte, sometimes just Monte, is a Spanish gambling card game and was known in the 19th century as the national card game of Mexico.  It ultimately derives from basset, where the banker (dealer) pays on matching cards.  The term "monte" has also been used for a variety of other gambling games, especially varieties of three-card poker, and for the swindle three-card monte. Madiao (), also Ma Diao, Ma Tiu or Ma Tiao, is a late imperial Chinese trick-taking gambling card game, also known as the game of "Paper Tiger."  The deck used was recorded by Lu Rong in the 15th century and the rules later by Pan Zhiheng and Feng Menglong during the early 17th century.  Korean poet Jang Hon (1759-1828) wrote that the game dates back to the Yuan dynasty (1271-1368).  It continued to be popular during the Qing dynasty until around the mid-19th century.  The game was also known in Japan from at least 1791.  It is played with 40 cards and four players.
